About the Organization
Learning Initiatives for India was founded looking at the disparity in the access of opportunities of learning among children in our country. With COVID-19, such disparity has only increased. While there were so many children who had access to online learning, it was difficult for children in the rural settings to gain the same access to learning at home. According to NSSO, more than 3 crore children in India are out of school in 2017-2018. This number seems to have increased because of the pandemic.
The opportunity will help to understand the growing problem in India and with the help of their creative minds we aim to bring a change in the society especially to create opportunities of lifelong learning path for the children who do not have access or have dropped out of education purview.
