Public schools in India
Every step towards education
Public schools are the backbone of education for millions of children across India. But, despite high enrollment rates, quality learning remains a challenge. Students face gaps in literacy and numeracy, along with mental health issues during critical academic years.To prepare students for real-world demands, we must address these multifaceted challenges and improve education quality from foundational levels to higher education.
How can we improve 1 million public schools and shift public perception of them?
How can we view India as 800+ thriving districts, not just 28 states?
How can Samaaj-Sarkaar partnerships drive change at the grassroots level?
These questions sparked the creation of Shikshagraha—a movement rooted in the belief that lasting change in education comes from collective action.
We believe that the key to meaningful school reform lies in strong, localised partnerships. By fostering collaboration at the district and community levels, Shikshagraha creates a powerful network of change-makers.
Shikshagraha isn’t just a platform; it’s a thriving environment where the co-creation of need-based solutions becomes a reality. By bringing together educators, communities, government, and non-profits, we are building a future where every public school has the tools and support needed to excel. Our vision is to see every district in India as a vibrant hub of educational excellence.
