In a scenario where poor children are deprived of education due to various reasons, it becomes imperative for us to address their grievances, remove their inhibitions, create awareness and motivate them. It is important that we reach out to them with necessary things fulfilling their requirements in order to facilitate a smooth and easy learning process for them. In this regard, it will be appropriate to remember Swami Vivekananda’s saying, “If children can’t go to school why not bring the school to the children?” And we are exactly doing that through our sacred project called “Single Teacher Schools”.
