In 1947 the Government of India invested in education by providing free primary school education to its young citizens. One Billion Literates is an aspirational effort to break an enormous problem into smaller/manageable parts. The vision leverages the existing physical infrastructure of public elementary schools and outlines a customized curriculum to support students beyond classroom learning.
From one school, one rural district of Anekal outside Bangalore, the program can be replicated in other parts of the country and has the potential to educate all ages from childhood to adulthood. OBLF leverages the “multiplier effect” of literacy to empower people, enabling them to participate fully in society and contributing to improving livelihoods.
We are dedicated to creating equitable platforms to bridge the urban rural divide in rural India
