Education is a shared responsibility. It belongs to governments, schools, teachers, parents, and communities.

Dear Friends and Wellwishers, As we progress in our work of improving learning outcome of the children in government primary schools, it is becoming increasingly clear that for the success of any intervention designed to improve the learning outcome of such children it is required simultaneously to create a supportive social ecosystem around the child. This means for Arun Bikash Foundation to succeed in its mission it must find collaborators that work for crating such a supportive social ecosystem and partner with them. I request our friends to ponder over this and suggest suitable organizations/agencies, help us connect with them and suggest how best to collaborate with them. Thank you.

It is interesting to see that in a major outreach to Gen Z, the Modi government is planning to send one Union minister to one university every day to engage with the youth., discuss their concerns and better understand their perspectives on issues facing the country. Under the 'One Day, One University' programme,a Union Minister will visit an assigned university to interact with students, listen to their views on different subjects, and inform them about various government welfare schemes, particularly those for youth and students. While laudable, the programme smacks of vote bank politics.
But what pains me most is that the Government has chosen once again to sleep over the basic problem of the country, that of primary education that is the pillar on which the country can build its strong foundation. I wish a similar program was launched by the government to strengthen the this fundamental problem facing the country today. If the roots are week, a tree cannot grow. Similarly, if primary education is not strengthened, we cannot hope to see a truly viksh*t Bharat.

These Green Warriors of Md. Shah Sishu Niketan, a Govt. Primary School in Guwahati, planted neem saplings on the World Environment Day. We called them 'Brikhsa Palaks'. Excited as they were , they have been nurturing the plants happily ever since.

India’s education system is in structural distress. In 1966, the Kothari Commission recommended that public expenditure on education should reach 6% of GDP. Six decades later, we still hover between 2.9-3.5%; a figure that speaks not only of neglect but also of a settled national indifference to learning as a public good. The consequences are everywhere visible: crumbling infrastructure, overcrowded classrooms, and schools so starved of resources that even blackboards and functional toilets cannot be taken for granted. The entire educational process in the country can be termed “black teaching”, a situation in which learners are deprived of their legitimate share of learning.
