Only 44% of Grade V children could read a Grade II Level text
22.7% of Grade V children could do division
At present, we have 96.96 lakh teachers across all levels for 26.44 crore children.

Why is the Bhumi Fellowship Important?
Why is the Bhumi Fellowship Important?
The state of education in India is dire, with millions of children deprived of quality education. Despite significant progress in enrollment, the quality of education remains a challenge. India's education system is plagued with low learning outcomes, lack of trained teachers, inadequate infrastructure, and poor governance. We believe that the best way to solve these challenges is by creating a pool of leaders like you who are committed to transforming education in India.

The Bhumi Fellowship has been an eye-opener in terms of understanding myself and the world around me. Despite the challenging times we find ourselves in, by being here, I feel that either I am a part of the solution, or actively working towards it. This is a wonderful start in understanding our education system better and working on improving it, together.
