Rural Talent Project

In the recent era, where education is wealth, those who have been deprived of educational resources are expected to compete with those to whom excellent educational resources are available. These deprived students do not lag behind in talent, but in having access to educational resources.

The endeavour of the Trust is to check this disparity and provide equal access to all the disadvantaged sections to enable them to compete with those, who have excellent educational resources and to make their place in the world. In the present times, education is the most powerful tool for every one to keep pace with the world.

Unfortunately, the significance of education is diminishing amongst the Sikh community and the people of Punjab. The standard of education is going down in Punjab, while it is improving immensely in the rest of the country and the world.

Punjab, at one stage, used to rank number 2 in literary level and is now relegated to 7th place in India. Amongst the children of the age group of 6 – 14, the next generation, the literacy level in Punjab is just 54%, which is below the average literacy level of India i.e. 65%. Punjab stands number 23.

The situation is emergent and the decline needs to be checked and immediate steps have to be taken to improve the situation. The endeavour of the Trust is to take top most teachers from Delhi to villages, to create an atmosphere, where the people realize the importance of education.
