Notes About How This Resource is Deployed

In 2005,two young men with bright ideas, a lot of passion for development work and very little money GV Krishna Gopal and G Satyadev were batchmates at the Institute of Rural Management, Anand (IRMA), batch 1999. In its Early stage, the founders have no money,no reputation,no established network. They struggled a lot to build an organization that would last beyond them. As it was more interested to work for marginalised, it projected some aims like

To change the following scales:

1. The richest 10% in India own 80% of its wealth.

2.A mere 27% of women participate in the labour force in India.

3.76% of children in India do not have access to higher education.

4.India is ranked 141 out of 180 countries on the Environmental Performance Index.

They believe that changing these scales can be possible only by providing education to under privileged to sustain their livelihood. In order to meet its  aim, it has been providing various professional services like IIT, which cast a undergraduate to an entrepreneur.
