Today, on International Migrants Day, let's remember that the right to education is a fundamental human right and not enclosed by borders. For migrant children, access to quality education can be a significant challenge. Shiksharth is working in the tribal communities of Sukma and Bastar to help children affected by disruptions in schooling, language barriers, cultural differences, discrimination and natural calamities. Let's work together to build a world where every child, regardless of their background or circumstances, has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

The success of any program lies not just in its approach but in nurturing relationships with key stakeholders involved. Today our team member, Arone Benjamin shared such insights during the Shiksha Samvaad Series hosted by Involve and Shikshagraha. Drawing references from his experience and learnings, Arone emphasized how building trust and collaboration with district-level stakeholders contribute to the shared success of a programme. He highlighted how proactive planning, prompt communication, and aligning tasks with programme outcomes can transform stakeholder relationships from managing to truly partnering with them. Thank you Involve and Shikshagraha for such opportunities to share our experiences with the ecosystem partners! #Collaboration #EducationLeadership #StakeholderEngagement

In the quiet corners of Tegheria in Assam, where classrooms often outnumber teachers, Sushmita Bora is rewriting the story of education. A young educator, she chose public schools as her canvas, painting futures with lessons of hope and knowledge. Teaching across four government schools – Udmari LP School, Deosal Govt JB LP School, Tegheria LP School, and Rowmari LP School – all within the Deosal Cluster of Morigaon district, Assam, she turns scarcity into strength, proving that passion is the greatest resource of all. Transportation to these schools presents challenges due to poor road conditions, requiring her to either walk long distances or rely on the kindness of fellow teachers for rides. She visits two schools with the help of other educators and independently reaches the remaining two schools accessible via the main road. In her journey to bring learning to life, Sushmita is shaping young minds to believe in the power of education. Through educators like Sushmita, Northeast Centre for Equity Action on Integrated Development - NEAID has inspired countless others, reducing dropout rates and increasing attendance across 278 schools in Morigaon, benefiting over 6,000 students. Sushmita's story is part of this greater movement—one where every challenge becomes a chance to empower, and every child is given the tools to dream bigger. This is her Shikshagraha. Tell us about inspiring individuals you know who are taking their step towards education.
