Its mission is to reach maximum number of deprived children through sankalp centres and bringing about sustainable changes in their lives through education. SANKALP believes that the future of any individual, people, country or indeed the world lies in education. Despite the universalization of primary education being adopted as a key thrust area, the vast majority of children remain uneducated. The government and several NGOs are working towards this aim. Several schools have been set up towards this end. However, there is a high percentage of poor education in the lower socio-economic strata in the nation. This can be attributed to several factors including poor quality of teaching and lack of support at home due to the children being first generation learners. Parents often pay for tuition that they can ill afford.
