The Shiksha ki Ore is a campaign organized by NDTV in partnership with the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences. Given the situation at hand where the tribal population in India touches a whopping 10.2 crore, with a bare minimum of literacy rate being below 30%, the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences has emerged as an oasis in the desert. Over the last few years they have succeeded in providing a holistic education to over 25000 tribal children yearly, free of cost.
These Children mostly belong to areas devoid of leave alone the modern amenities but even basic living essentials. They also work with children and families who live in the infamous “Red Corridor”. With a life ravaged by the Naxal terrorists, education for these families is a far-fetched luxury. In the face of this agonizing terror the only beacon of hope for education here is the help provided by the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences.

On this note, our aim through this campaign is to bring to the forefront the urgent need to help provide education to this section of people. To ensure the continuation of this effort, there is a need of appropriate funds for which we would like to organize a charity event.
This event will have a three-fold agenda:
1. To highlight the work carried out by Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences and simultaneously drawing attention to how this campaign aims to raise awareness through it.
2. To award and honour some special children who have benefited from the education provided to them by Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences.
3. To bring together luminaries from different fields to raise funds for this cause.
All the funds raised from this event will be given directly to the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences, which will in turn aid them in their noble efforts to not only continue this process by also improve the quality of education provided at their institutes.
Government should more focus not only on the education but on the teacher qualification and capability as well, the teaching department should really be very much educated irrespective in the language we speak or we use in our daily life(Hindi & English). The foundation of any taken task should be strong to get a perfect expected outcome.why Gov cannot provide education which private school or colleges give why there is differentiation on government studies and private studies. Survey should be conducted every year for all the government school and colleges to check the capability of each and every teacher specially in remote areas.
great work by NDTV .education play key role to bring change in social system.
It is very good step for development of India. I myself from a trible majority area economic conditions of most of the trible majority villages are very bad and only education can give bright future to children of those villages. Education c
will also create jobs in villages.
Youth of India must pay attention about education of poor.
Make awareness in their family and their parents.
If educated people have free time so you can teach them in free of cost.
