Literacy India has at its heart, the 4 Es that are both powerful and paramount in transforming lives - Education, Empowerment Employment and environment.
Literacy India was born in 1996 as a non-profit organization with the objective of educating underprivileged women and children and empowering them to become self-reliant and employable.
The name Literacy India is a misnomer because although literacy is the predominant initiative of the organization, this initiative is reinforced with a variety of vocational skills and alternative models of education that are relevant, holistic and enriching. Capt. Indrani Singh, who conceptualized Literacy India says, “The idea is to equip underprivileged children and women with basic education and also identify, nurture and develop their latent talent and skills thus empowering them and increasing their employability quotient.”
