 From 2007 onwards, our focus was on involving the community through creating a learning environment for children in rural areas by setting up of Shiksha Protsahan Kendras (SPK) especially for first generation learners.This is a supportive structure for first generation learners at the primary school level who do not have educational support at home for their sustenance in school.The SPKs help foster linkages between schools and community thereby making schools more accountable in terms of quality and efficiency.
