Education for underprivileged Children of Rural or Urban area

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”
Education is one of the most powerful weapons in fighting poverty. However, countries lacking substantial educational infrastructure can face a number of unique problems: rural access, gender inequalities, child labor, and more.
“Teaching is not about answering questions but about raising questions – opening doors for them in places that they could not imagine.”
Paropkaram is established to provide education to children in the slums of pan--India. Today, it has grown in scope and reach with a focus on high quality, with a mission of ‘Every child in school and learning well,’ the organization has addressed several issues such as learning levels, dropout rates, child rights, etc. Their programs focus on education, vocational training, technology, vulnerable children, and research. There are also specially-tailored programs designed to reduce instances of child labor, and initiatives prioritizing gender equality in education.
