Ekal Vidyalaya
The Ekal Vidyalaya movement aims to help eradicate illiteracy from rural and tribal India by 2012. To date, Ekal Vidyalaya is a movement of over 13,000 teachers, 2,500 voluntary workers, 20 field organizations (scattered in 20 Indian states), and 6 support agencies. With this tremendous human force, the Ekal Vidyalaya movement strives to create a network of non-formal schools that will educate and empower children in rural and tribal India.
The Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation is a charitable trust that initiates, supports, and runs non-formal one-teacher schools (popularly known as Ekal Vidyalayas) all over the country. With the participation of numerous non-profit trusts and organizations, this program has now become the greatest non-governmental education movement in the country.
