Pratham’s “Lakhon mein Ek” campaign launched on October 21, 2015 received unprecedented and widespread support from citizens and communities, enabling it to go well beyond the original target of 1 lakh villages. By January 11, 2016 mobilization and assessment initiatives had reached more than 150,000 villages and communities. Close to 350.000 volunteers had joined the campaign and interacted with about 1 crore (10 million) children. The participation of such large numbers of people in this exercise shows that there is tremendous scope for community action towards improving children’s learning. Now is the time for further action.
