Feed the Hungry and Restore Hope

Like all proud Indians and NRIs, we too, want to make India a better country. Even after the typically fierce “but India has a great history” retort, we look down embarrassed and helpless in terms of our rural youth being misguided and unemployed. The education system in rural India suffers both on poor infrastructure as well as an abysmal quality of education.A short clip above gives an overview of our work. Also there are related articles by Dr. Rishikesha T Krishnan, Director, IIM Indore. We have been very lucky to have had the stalwarts from the education &amp; social entrepreneurship sector (Professors from IIM Indore, Bangalore, Udaipur &amp; TISS; Caring Friends, Mumbai, Other NGO entrepreneurs like Vinayak Lohani) and tie-ups with institutions like Head-Held High &amp; Goonj Delhi) guide us through our journey of trying to bring around this paradigm shift. 
 We need your contribution to help the youth realize their dreams. Lets together give them our support and guidance and do our part in giving back to the society we feel proud to be a part of!SSES through its educational initiative SSISM empowers the rural youth with access to quality higher education and employment opportunities. It offers graduation courses with transportation to rural students from the interiors of Madhya Pradesh (70 KM radius). Free computer access education is provided to school children. Special focus is on girl education and parent counseling. Out of 1050 students; 70% are girls, few being university toppers. SSES provides placement &amp; entrepreneurship opportunities to students by exposing them to current industry needs every 6 months via industry visits, training, updated curriculum, vocational training etc. Spoken English classes from Head-Held High, Bangalore headed by CNN IBN Awardee aims to bridge the crucial communication gap that poses a big challenge of these students. 
 SSES target to impact minimum 10,000 direct beneficiaries per year. These include students, their families and all who wants to become self reliant.Since 2010; we have imparted courses &amp; training's to nearly 6000 people. A paradigm shift from being aloof to being aware and focused to parents encouraging their girls to study and become independent have been our key achievements. Some of the achievements are: 1050 total students, 60% girls from 200 villages, 4000+ villagers trained in the basics of computers, 10+ entrepreneurship projects, 14 university toppers, 3 university sports captain and 70+ placements in national and multi-national companies.SSISM alumnis being role models, girls making an exemplary mark by being independent and proving themselves, Emergence of local entrepreneurs. Girls who decide to stay in village are much sought after as teachers at primary and secondary schools, allied industries and occupations like dairy farming, retailing, etc. They are proving to be more aware and dedicated for their family occupation, like farming.

Empower rural youth for a brighter future

Disadvantaged students face many obstacles when trying to pursue an education. The expense to go to school combined with their parents expectations for their children to work and earn a living, means many discontinue their education. This leads to poor employment options in the future.In a country like India, where the majority of the population are youths, the overall effect of this problem multiplies. Societies progress and the economies growth rate both deteriorate as so many people are uneducated. 
 We have started an initiative to support bright but underprivileged students post the 10th grade to pursue further studies in literacy; leading to employment. We cover the cost of scholarships, books, and all skill training.Each student is carefully selected based upon academic performance and economic assessments. Our volunteers visit student’s homes to get a better understanding of their financial situation. As we have such a big network of volunteers covering a vast area, we can ensure that we reach as many students as possible. 
 Through our efforts and the support of others like you, more than 5000 students have received employment through Vidya Poshak and over 4000 students have reached the next level of literacy. Also, 60 free of cost rural book banks have been opened where students can borrow books and educational material.

This conviction, that rural India is a storehouse of talent, backed by our belief that it is essential to nurture the natural inclinations of children and provide them with holistic education so that they are prepared to secure a better future for themselves, their families, and the community, prompted us to start the Great India Talent Foundation (GITF) in 2016. The Great India Talent foundation (GITF) aspires to educate, enable and empower children of rural communities in India by setting up multiple educational institutions that will provide them with the options to pursue higher education in their fields of interest. First Great India Talent School (GITS) is opened in 2017 at Kashirampara, North Tripura.With holistic development and welfare of children at its core, the Great India Talent Foundation is our humble attempt to uphold children’s Right to Education and Right to Food. Through this endeavour, we seek to contribute toward a world where children do not have to forfeit their dreams and aspirations. We want to fulfil the desire of marginalized families to provide their children with education, which, though commonplace across the length and breadth of the country, often remains unfulfilled because of the financial burden associated with it. We want to provide children access to proper schooling, thus giving their parents the freedom to channel their energy and resources towards other important aspects of life.

The Reang Tribe is a displaced community from Mizoram, which, in the aftermath of ethnic clashes in the state in 1997, settled in the neighbouring state of Tripura. They live in the six refugee camps in Kanchanpur and Panisagar subdivisions of the state. Reang primarily speaks two tribal languages: Kokborok and Bru. Although the community has been at the centre of identity conflict, they have continued to keep alive their traditions and culture. Despite the efforts of the Union Home Ministry to end the impasse, still more than 30,000 Reang families languishing with approximate 7000 children without a school in these refugee camps.Kashirampara is a small village located approximately 190 km from Agartala, Tripura. In this village, lies the Great India Talent School (GITS), an initiative of the Great India Talent Foundation (GITF). The school is set up to support the children of the Reang community by providing them with free education and an opportunity to carve a better life for themselves. More than 700 children, predominantly from Naisingpara and Ashapara refugee camps have benefited from GITS being set up in this area. Many of these children walk for miles, traversing hills and valleys to reach the school. Besides free education in the English medium, the school also offers free textbooks, stationary uniforms, and shoes. Children are also provided freshly-cooked mid-day meals by Akshaya Patra.In upholding children’s Right to Education and Right to Food, we seek to contribute to the nation’s pursuit of two critical Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - Goal 2: Zero Hunger, through the promise of a wholesome meal, and Goal 4: Quality Education, through the promise of quality schooling entirely free of cost. Indirectly, on the other hand, this endeavour contributes toward various other SDGs, including Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing for People and Goal 10: Reducing Inequalities. The School is our humble attempt to create a large learning community with features of comprehensive rural development through education and skill development. Through this initiative, children will be trained, educated, and encouraged with the right skill sets, appropriate to enable each of them to flourish to their full capacity. We believe that every child has vast potential. It is just about guiding these children to ensure that they realize their full potential. In nurturing their natural inclinations, Great India Talent School will serve to educate, enable, and empower these children.
