People’s Rural Education Movement (PREM) is a humanitarian, secular, non-political and non-profit making voluntary organization. The organization PREM Read more is working in one of the most difficult regions of the country considering the historical poverty and the terrain of the region in South Odisha. The organization’s four decades of presence in the region and work with the Adivasi, Dalit and Fisher folk community has produced astounding results. PREM’s primary focus since its inception is on education and awareness on several issues like health, hygiene, sanitation, gender rights, local governance and such other areas that mainly aimed at creation of values like social justice, equality, truth, freedom and the dignity of human life. In 1992 it extended its operations to Andhra Pradesh and in 2004 to Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh.

Scholarship support
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.

Model village
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.
Milestones & Track Record
PREM's Mother Tongue Based Multi-Lingual Early Childhood Education (MTMLECE) model was acknowledged by both State and Central Government, leading to policy changes for tribal children's education in India.
