impact of this work goes beyond numbers.

School management committee members,

parents, and community leaders have all

begun actively participating and working

collaboratively to improve the functioning of

schools.

One of the successes of TRI is the

establishment of the Education Sector

Council, a robust platform made up of

renowned education organizations to develop

effective tools and process protocols and

ensure a comprehensive approach towards

rural education.

TRI employs a holistic strategy which

promotes community-based models, especially

women’s collectives, where women are the

powerful agents of educational change, taking

collective responsibility for education in the

village and addressing issues of discrimination

and segregation to create cohesive education

communities. Respecting local tribal culture

and customs and integrating local languages

into programmes, as well as fostering

technology-aided learning and joyful classroom

ideologies in its interventions, TRI comes

closer to its goal of empowering rural children

with 21st century skills including creativity,

entrepreneurial mindsets and adaptability, so

that these children can become changemakers in

their communities and beyond.
