The trends of Indian education system are changing tremendously. And one of the most remarkable trends is the proliferation of private tuitions outside the regular school system.

About Us

In a country with over 29 states, over 600 Districts, and more than 350 million children, it is a monumental task to ensure that every child is literate, a task that government cannot accomplish alone. This thought gave birth to Pratham Education Foundation in 1994 with aim of providing pre-school education to children in the slums of Mumbai city. Since then, the organization has grown to become India's largest non-governmental organization to provide education to the underprivileged children in India. Today it is reaching to three million children annually in rural and urban areas across 23 states of the country.
