People's Rural Education Movement

PREM and Plan International (India) have maintained a longstanding collaborative partnership, engaging in multifaceted interventions across various facets of human life. These interventions span domains such as health, education, livelihood, habitat, water and environmental sanitation (WES), child rights, children's participation in governance, and gender equity. The joint endeavour, known as the PREM-Plan project, places children at the forefront of its initiatives, employing a 'Child Centered Community Development' Approach. Targeting marginalized communities including Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Fisher communities, and other economically disadvantaged groups enduring historical social, economic, and political marginalization, the project endeavours to address their needs comprehensively.

The establishment of model villages stands as a key aspiration for PREM. However, creating a model village is a collective endeavour that requires time and the active participation of numerous stakeholders, particularly the local community. Currently, PREM, in collaboration with community members, has successfully developed 100 model villages within its project operational area.
