The CSR Journal | How long-term CSR can change the face of Government School Education

According to UDISE survey conducted in 780 govt in schools in 2017 – only 56% of govt schools had electricity, 63% of schools had no playgrounds, 60% had no boundaries walls, Unusable toilets in more than 25% of the schools and the pupil-teacher ratio were abysmal. Despite govt allocation of funds and 32% of CSR funds going into education, there is less to be desired and lots to be done. CSR in education can be a game-changer in improving public education in India, however, CSR models need to address long-term issues across the systemic chain to accelerate change in the education sector.
