Mr. Ritesh Rawal, Founder, Ritesh Rawal Foundation said. “The organization aims to implement its ideas by collaborating with local government bodies and later on influencing at the policy level with an objective to achieve standardization.” According to research, 10 million kids in India are involved in child labor practices in one way or the other and knowledge gap is one of the major factors behind the condition. Therefore, we have decided to minimize and eradicate child labor from India by using education as one of the mediums.
In times, when schools have started to move towards Artificial intelligence, augmented reality, virtual reality and many schools have integrated tablets and smart devices, whereas, education in rural India is still dependent on the traditional methods of books and blackboards.
