On the occasion of World Literacy Day, it is important to reflect on India’s literacy landscape within the global context. India, with its vast and diverse population, faces both challenges and opportunities in the realm of literacy. While there have been significant strides in improving literacy rates over the years, a substantial portion of the population, particularly in rural areas, still lacks basic literacy skills. As we observe World Literacy Day today, we invite you to explore the seminal work of Transforming Rural India (TRI) in the realm of education and literacy. TRI’s journey since 2017 has been marked by a relentless commitment to uplift the lives of India’s most underserved communities through innovative solutions and community-driven strategies.

In this interview with The CSRUniverse, Mr. Javed Siddiqui, Lead, Education at Transform Rural India (TRI), divulges into the guiding principles, key strategies, and impactful initiatives that shape TRI’s mission to revolutionize rural education and empower every child with the gift of knowledge.
