Letter From Chief Executive

Chief, Relearn Foundation

Chief Scientist CSIR-NML

According to the Ministry of human resource development (MHRD) 2018 report, 62.1 million children are out of school in India. After the pandemic, this number has risen drastically due to various reasons, one of which is the lack of educational support to continue education after school reopened. Students coming from underprivileged backgrounds are burdened with household responsibilities at a very young age. This impairs their ability to grow creative minds and thereby impairs their learning ability. Early marriage, lack of safety in schools, and low aspirations related to girls’ education are some of the reasons which lead to them dropping out. This poses a great challenge for achieving the global sustainable development goals and 100% literacy by 2030 in India.

Since its inception in 2015, Relearn Foundation (NGO Darpan ID – JH/2017/0115958) has created several community classrooms for underprivileged students in Eastern India under the Digital Literacy Mission (DLM) of the organization with a total strength of students around 448 ranging from class 1 to class X. The Foundation is offering online tutors training in addition to providing financial support to the women tutors. 

RELF works to raise awareness training on “No single-use plastics” and to innovate alternative eco-friendly products like “Green Garbage Bags” and “Biodegradable banners.” These innovative products create opportunities for establishing small business ventures for marginalized people. And creates avenues for recycling and upcycling of waste thereby ensuring efficient use of resources and minimizing wastage.

I thankfully acknowledge the support and patronage of all members of RELF including tutors, facilitators, and volunteers for participating in programs and implementing projects for creating a synergistic community where we support and inspire each other in latitudinal ways.
