Description
1991 is known and celebrated as the year when economic reforms, were introduced in India. Cloaked within the story of the 1991 economic reforms, is the story of decisions taken that would decisively transform the policy and programming landscape of education delivery in India. From 1992, there is a visible shifting of gears, and a policy commitment to universalise education for every child.
The story of provision of education to every child, everywhere in India, is the story of State commitment, and public pressure. One of the key organisers, of that public pressure, national convenor of the Right to Education Forum, Ambarish Rai passed away this week. This episode is dedicated to our fellow traveller, Ambarish Rai. RIP.
