Rural Empowerment

About me

Gender	Male
Introduction	The challenge faced by over 60% of children in India is not access to education, but access to quality education. We need to supplement the poorly funded government schools with resource that will improve the quality of education and help the students compete with children from urban centres. Rural Empowerment Program (REP) was initiated as a pilot to bring together various organziations that work in the area of education to come and work in one village. This will give them an opportunity to work with each other and learn from each others 'best practices'. The final goal is to take their best practices and build one new model that will be effective, cost efficient and sustainable thorough government, private, non profit and public participation. This also allows us to avoid duplication done by multiple NGO's in the area of education. The first village that has been picked is Jambumadai in Trichy dist, TN.
