Can
Sania
and
Uma
be
in
the
same
class?
Listen . Act . Change
Project
Eklavya

India
is
the
world’s
largest
democracy
and
one
of
the
fastest
growing
nations
in
the
world

While
we
are
making
strides
in
many
areas,
we
still
lack
behind
in
many
more

We
have
some
great
policies
but
fall
behind
due
to
poor
implementation

How
long
can
we
continue
to
wait
for
the
government
to
deliver?
It's
time
to
take
ownership
of
our
problems

Indus
Action
is
striving
hard
to
bridge
the
policy
implementation
gap

by
bringing
in
innovative
ideas
to
build
scalable
models

Last
year
we
ran
a
successful
pilot
campaign
and
understood
the
ground
reality

This
year
Project
Eklavya
aims
to
make
atleast
10k
applications
from
all
over
Delhi
to
fill
the
25%
free
seats
under
RTE
Section
12

Let
us
try
to
understand
the
problem
first

25%
seats
in
all
private
schools
are
available
for
free
for
economically
weak
and
disadvantaged
kids*

but
less
than
10%
eligible
families
are
aware
of
it

to
solve
this
we
just
need
to
provide
Right
Information
to
the
Right
Person
and
at
the
Right
Time

Indus
Action
cannot
reach
every
eligible
family
on
its
own

We
have
identified
not
one
but
three
easy
ways
1) Reaching
out
low
income
housing
communities
2) Engaging
their
employers
3) Empowering
high
income
individuals

Model
1
Seeking
partners
in
every
low
income
community
in
Delhi

and
bringing
like
minded
people
together
to
form
a
coalition

to
engage
them
to
become
community
champions

and
identify
information
hubs
to
spread
awareness

to
ensure
that
every
parent
is
aware
of
of
their
child’s
right
to
education
and
the
procedures
to
realize
it

Model
2
Engaging
the
employers

and
encouraging
them
to
support
their
employees

by
sharing
relevant
information
and
providing
backend
support

Model
3
Empowering
the
individuals

You
sign
up
as
as
a
Champion

and
get
all
the
necessary
information
on
the
go

Tell
your
domestic
help,
driver,
cook,
dhobi
etc.
about
RTE
Section
12

and
support
eligible
parents
to
submit
application

For
all
the
three
models,
Indus
Action
provides
Necessary
information easy
access continuous
support

What
happens
after
all
this?

The
families
submit
their
application
and
the
schools
conducts
lottery

The
kids
get
admission
to
some
of
the
best
schools

they
rise
and
shine
to
make
the
nation
proud

All
champions
build
leadership
and
citizenship
potential

This
way
we
have
collectively
solved
the
problem

and
the
world
sees
a
unique
example
of
Participatory
Democracy
