Unlocking the Potential of Rural

The landmark Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 is one of the rst steps to ensure all children have access to education in India. The schools are open; but how many children in rural India actually make it to school?

The Census 2011 data has revealed two alarming facts: as many as 78 lakh Indian children are forced to earn a livelihood even as they attend schools; and 8.4 crore children don't go to school at all - that's nearly 20 percent of the age group covered under the Right to Education Act. A majority of these children land up wasting their time, doing domestic chores or nothing at all.

The AIM for Seva Impact l Education to Employment is the focus: over 100 students cleared their class 12 board examinations and went onto pursue higher education. l 15% of our students went onto to pursue higher studies and have found jobs in corporate houses like Sundaram Finance, Wipro, Tata Consultancy Services. They are all rst generation learners. l Skilling India - A skill test is conducted every quarter and based on the student's capabilities they are guided to enrol for courses l Encourage cross-cultural Exchange - over 500 students have moved out of their home states to educate themselves l We foster the cause of girl child education: we have 18 Free Student Hostels for girls. l Over 3500 students study in AIM for Seva's Schools - Khategaon in Madhya Pradesh and Dharmapuri, Kadalur, Manjakkudi and Sembangudi in Tamil Nadu.
