It is an open secret that many children in India still do not go to schools and numbers of illiterate girls outnumber theboys. With around 8 million children out of school in the age group of 6-14 years; India has a monumental task to

eradicate child illiteracy. Mr. Subhakar Rao’s NGO works in shouldering this responsibility by facilitating education tounderprivileged children of the society.

Three primary factors that are affecting the growth of children literacy in India:

Social problems like caste, class and gender difference

Economic problems like child labour due to poor family

Infrastructure problems like not enough schools, remote location

Subhakar Rao’s NGO tries to offer basic education with special focus on gender equality so that more and morechildren get access to basic education, especially girls.

Why elementary education?

School is the first & right place where children get real opportunities to explore their cognitive, emotional and

social foundation in an organized way. This basic education prepares them better for a meaningful & productive

social life.

Various research studies have proved beyond doubt that early ECD (early childhood development) programmes

lead to higher level of learning in a child which directly impacts his/her future career prospects and employment

opportunities in life.
