Ekal works only in rural and tribal areas and since its founding in 1986 has more than 50,000 ONE TEACHER SCHOOLS (OTS) in almost every state and district of the country.

Modeled after one of Swami Vivekananda’s basic vision which was, “If the poor cannot come to education, then education must reach the poor.

The other key feature is “a new vidyalaya can only be started if there is a demand for it from the local people of the village.

They do great work, mostly unheard off as they are mostly donor and volunteer run.

Visit www.ekal.org/in to learn about their great work, perhaps you could be a donor, volunteer or teacher. We urge you to donate.

WeRIndia is a regular donor and have sponsored multiple Ekal Vidyalaya schools over the years.

Your Opinion

In 1989-90, with Rajiv Gandhi as PM and Farooq Abdullah as CM, 400,000 Kashmiri Pandits, Sikhs & Others FACED GENOCIDE - were slaughtered or forced to leave Kashmir overnight. "The Kashmir Files" shows only a small part of this. Should a Kashmir Genocide Law be made and the atrocities be fully investigated?

आपकी राय

1989-90 में, राजीव गांधी के प्रधान मंत्री और फारूक अब्दुल्ला के मुख्यमंत्री के रूप में, 400,000 कश्मीरी पंडितों, सिखों और अन्य लोगों को नरसंहार का सामना करना पड़ा - या तो रातों-रात कश्मीर छोड़ने के लिए मजबूर होना पड़ा । "द कश्मीर फाइल्स" इसका एक छोटा सा हिस्सा ही दिखाता है। क्या कश्मीर में हुए नरसंहार पर कानून बनाया जाना चाहिए और अत्याचारों की पूरी जांच होनी चाहिए?
