Organization Background
Educate Girls is an award-winning non-profit working to ensure that every girl in India’s rural and educationally marginalised communities has access to quality education. In 2025, Educate Girls became the first Indian organisation to receive the Ramon Magsaysay Award, Asia’s highest honour.
Since 2007, we have partnered with state governments and local communities to identify out-of-school girls, support their enrolment and retention, and strengthen foundational learning for all children. Our second-chance program also helps adolescent girls and young women complete their Grade 10 and 12 education while building life skills and agency.
With a network of more than 55,000 community volunteers, Educate Girls has enrolled over 20 lakhs girls and improved learning outcomes for over 24 lakhs children across 30,000 villages in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar.

Our Vision for 2035
By 2035, Educate Girls aims to transform the lives of 10 million learners through three flagship pathways:
1. Vidya – Back-to-School Program- Vidya identifies out-of-school girls (ages 6–14), supports their enrolment and retention in government schools, and strengthens foundational literacy, numeracy, and essential life skills for all children in Grades 3–5.
2. Pragati – Second-Chance Education Program- Pragati is India’s largest second-chance learning initiative for adolescent girls and young women (ages 15–29) who have dropped out due to societal and systemic barriers. Through village-based learning camps, it builds academic competencies, life skills, and agency, enabling learners to complete their Grade 10 certification through State Open Schools.
3. Technical Assistance Units (TAUs) with Governments- In collaboration with 12 state governments, Educate Girls is strengthening open schooling systems to enhance access, quality, and governance. These TAUs play a pivotal role in ensuring that Pragati learners—and many others—can re-enter and thrive within formal education pathways.
Together, Vidya, Pragati, and our government partnerships embody Educate Girls’ mission: to ensure every girl is included, educated, and empowered—creating lasting impact in education and gender equity across India.
