India is a young country with over 45% of the population in the age group of 0-19 years. The need for this important constituent of the Indian demography to realize its right to quality education and resources cannot be iterated enough.

The constitution defines education as a fundamental right and policy frameworks have repeatedly called for accessibility, equity and quality in its implementation. Yet government schools that are attended by more than 50% of students of school-going age, are not equipped to provide access to quality and equitable education, which can enable and empower students to become productive citizens of the country and to face challenges in school and beyond.
