THE EDUCATION CRISIS

India is facing a crisis of unprecedented proportions. Embedded in the Indian Constitution is a social contract founded on the promise of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity for all Indian citizens. This promise is the bedrock of our nation’s ideals, and still, our systems fail to deliver on this promise for millions of children from low-income communities.
