  For example if I tech a student and then he becomes self sustainable it is a huge impact on on person. Impact is variable and depends on project to project.

  past experience with similar things prove that you are committed to the venture and that helps very much. Education is subjective.
  Posted 23-11-2015 04:16

• says :
  and since we hold short term education programs and not projects like rural electrification, how shall lives affected be calculated?

  Which institutes do you refer to Sir?
  Posted 23-11-2015 04:15

• says :
  Institutes on the other hand would evaluate you on the return on the money they deployed over 3-5 years period. The return will be based on the impact you generate and lives effected.

  25 schools in how much time?

• says :
  Interesting, how did you come up with this idea?
  Posted 23-11-2015 04:00

• says :
  we have developed a model that can be scaled and through this model we have reached out to more than 25 schools so far. I hope to use this platform to spread the message.

  Hey Piyush, Thanks for your comment. It is indeed a great question.
  Posted 23-11-2015 03:58

• says :
  this seems like a great initiative. Since I myself have been wondering for quite sometime now that under MDG goals how do we educate more and more youth to take up sustainable development. If this model can be scaled and reached out to even hundred thousand people this would create huge impact on the society.
