Students from all strata have a right to education and opportunities. In India, these are robbed for millions for no reason of theirs. You would be surprised to note that 98% of girls & 95% of boys in rural India don’t go upto graduation. Only 2.3% of Indian youngsters receive any form of formal training for employment. Compare it to South Korea where 96% get trained. Now imagine the magnitude of this problem if this problem affects 330 million rural youth in India which also forms 28% of world youth population. (Swadha’s aim is to create an atmosphere to provide such access by running a focussed, result based initiative to ensure we create rural champions. These are not champions or sport but education & skilling . Those which take families out of poverty. We take one bright student in a family and use their grit & determination to take families out of poverty.

Short term impact

One – Reduce the dropout rates in rural India of deserving students from pursuing higher education.
Two – Provide access to opportunities for employment and skilling that increases chances to get out of poverty.
Three – We have demonstrated the model’s success with a 5X to 15X improvement in the income levels of the successfully employed students.
Four – We have successfully demonstrated that women could be the highest income earners in families.

Long term impact

One – We create rural champions for education. These people encourage directly or indirectly to invest in education.
Two – We prevent the early marriage of girls, rampant across rural India, especially among rural communities. Make them biggest income earners . We make generational impact as by educating a child we educate an entire family.
Three – We make education & skilling deliver results we life families literally out of poverty.
