Implementation
Merits
• Drop out rates in primary education will decrease significantly
• Number of teachers in education system will increase continuously
• Training of youth for primary teaching with help of NGOs and Private companies
Generation of Human Resource
Unemployed Educated Youth
Women of villages
Already existing Primary
teachers

village education) to teach
•Support from Private to establish training
•Teaching Science and other core subjects to
children
•Training in villages by NGO workers
•Subjects like moral education, games
•Training by professionals to teach in remote
areas
•Higher pay and incentives for teaching in
remote areas
Teaching Institutions will be centrally governed by the NGOs and
Private companies.
They will be funded by the Government in this direction.
During training :
• Regular assessments of the teacher will be taken.
• Field training to nearest villages and remote areas to know the realm of the situation.
• Teaching preferences and location of teachers to be taken.
• Teachers to be assigned to their home zones based on the needs of skills training in the
district.
Awareness:• Regulating Fun activities and programs . In this context they can take the help of already existing organizations
who are willing to organize it like VCHE(Vivekananda Centre Of Human Excellence).
• Both traditional and social media will be utilized to spread the message.
• Infrastructure management: Overall infrastructure of the school buildings, toilets, salaries, stipend to students
and other important necessities will be look after by the government. So the only workload that the government
in this part will be managing the infrastructure.
2-Tier Approach
Training of teachers:
Place – institutions will be setup either at districts or directly over the villages.
Training period – 6 month.(4 month institutional and 2 month field training)
Medium Of Training – English, Hindi or local language
Technological Intervention– Teachers should be well familiarize with the technology like on-line education, basic
computer knowledge, so that they can implement these at villages.
.
Training Of students :
1 - Students who are at upper primary level will be teaching lower primary students.
2 - Stipend of Rs 200 per month will be provided to those students.

Part of them
Challenges faced by our model
Identification of the NGOs willing to participate in
our model.
Development of Teaching Institutes to develop quality
teachers
Training of Higher class Students to teach the students
of lower class.
• There are thousands of NGO’s , so there should be some
criteria in choosing a NGO.
• We can take help from NGO’s which are already working in
educational field.
• Funding for creating institutes infrastructure which will train
teachers.
• Professionals who will teach the teachers in those institutes.
• As the students are required to teach lower class student, so
special attention is needed in training of students.
Impact of our model
Reach of the model
• 50,000 villages will be affected
• 5,000,000 student will get education
• Confidence and learning of the student will be boosted.
Economic Impact
• 2,000,000 students will get monthly stipend
• Educated unemployed village youth will get employment
• Poor families will get extra money as their children will teach in schools, so they will get paid.
Social Impact
• Social barriers and caste system will be demolished as there will be intermixing of different caste of student teaching and being taught
• stop migration because the local youth will get employment.
Impact
Stipend given to children to
teach
• Taking firstly 50,000 villages in India and in each village 40 students to teach.
• Amount given to each children per month= Rs.200. Therefore, total expenditure per year on each village is equal to Rs.96,000.
• Expenditure on 50,000 villages is Rs.450 crores which is nearly 6% of the total tax received by the government in form of the education cess
Expenditure on Infrastructure
