Education is a powerful tool that can be used to facilitate social change. By providing individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to critically engage with the world around them, education can help to empower individuals and communities to effect change. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to bringing about social change, education can play a vital role in supporting efforts to bring about positive social change. For example, education can help to raise awareness of social issues and inequalities, as well as provide the skills and knowledge necessary to address these issues. Additionally, education can provide a space for dialogue and debate around controversial topics, helping to promote understanding and respect for different perspectives. In order to effectively support social change, education must be accessible to all. This means ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to receive a quality education, regardless of their background or circumstances. Additional...

Someone has rightly said that “The empowered women are powerful beyond measure and beautiful beyond description.” An empowered woman has the ability to do good not only for her family but also for society. When a woman lives a safe, filling, and productive life, she can reach her fullest potential. They can also contribute their skills to the workforce and help keep their family happy and healthier.

Back in 2015-16, the percentage of India’s female population, over the age of 6 years, who ever went to school was 68.8%. In 2019-21, that figure rose to 71.8%. However, the percentage of women between 15-49 years who have at least 10 years of solid schooling was only 41%. Compared to this number, 50.2% of men in the same age group reported that they went to school for 10 years or more. Two vital points come out from the above statistics. One, India has certainly come a long way when it comes to women's education or healthcare. The rising percentage is heartening to see which is reflected in most other sectors as well. But the percentage of women who drop out of school after joining is still alarming. Although the country is sending its girl children to school, we are collectively failing to keep them there to receive a proper education. Care India, one of India’s top NGOs working in the women's education and upliftment space for 70 years now, had recognised both these problem...

More than 17 million children in India work in different sectors instead of being in schools. And 90 %   of them hail from rural India where poverty tends to reign supreme. The only way to lift a generation out of poverty and ensure that the subsequent generations do not fall back is through education and India is still struggling to find the right foot in keeping its children in schools. More than half of all Indian children aged between 6 to 14 years do not go to schools and only one-third of those who enroll reach grade eight successfully by not dropping out. This picture has improved, given the government’s initiatives and the development sector’s hard work, but more effort is certainly the need of the hour. What is the importance of child education in India? The primary benefit that child education can bring to the country is to uplift vast sections of people out of poverty. Educated sections are employable and India can progress as a whole. Second, studies show that children ...

It is a known fact that over fifty-eight percent of India’s population depend primarily on farming and agriculture for survival. At the same time, eighty percent of the work in the fields is yielded by women. The sad plight is though all citizens depend on the food harvested by our farmers, they are the ones who earn meager wages in the end. Therefore resulting in most farmers and their families falling below the poverty line of the country.  In agriculture, some farmers own vast hectares of land, while others own two to three hectares. This creates a considerable pay gap between the two because of the quantity and types of crops harvested on the land.  Initiatives to create sustainable agriculture Agriculture is an expensive affair that provides varying results depending on variables like rain, sun, seeds, fertilizers, and chemicals. If a farmers’ harvest is good, there may be some margin of profit, but if the harvest fails, the farmer often has debts piling up from bor...
