Education Strategy:
Education is one of the most important drivers of India's social and economic development. Higher levels of literacy lead to greater economic output, higher employment levels, better health, better social structures and higher standards of living. Specifically, the impact of educating girls and women has been shown to result in rapid improvements in family planning, nutrition, health, and income. |

IF Serves as catalyst to eradicate illiteracy:
We accomplish this by forming meaningful partnerships with local voluntary organizations that work towards the goal of total literacy in India. We provide financial support to such organizations working in rural areas and remote tribal communities where it is needed the most.
