Teacher development and women’s empowerment in rural India

India is home to 1.4 billion people, 52% of whom are younger than 30 years of age and 27% are under 15! India is a pluralistic, multilingual and multi-ethnic society with 22 officially recognized languages. We have had experts from India in the past (Episodes 43, 87 & 91) but we now want to provide a broader lens on India over a series of episodes. Over the next few weeks Silver Lining for Learning will focus three episodes on India (Episodes #123, #129 & #130), and we will meet with some amazing organizations and people working in educational contexts across the country.

This episode (#123) centers on two non-profit organizations working in rural India around teacher development and women’s empowerment: Ashvattha Learning Communities  (represented by Arushi Mittal); and Sajhe Sapne (represented by Surabhi Yadav). Learn more about the organizations and our guests below the video.
