GYANODHAM

Being one of the largest and fastest growing economy in the world still India is behind Bangladesh and Srilanka in terms on basic human facilities. A huge percentage of our population is starving though we have lack of space to store our over produced food grains; our people are illiterate though we are called the best brains. Still 26 % of our population is bellow poverty line which is not only financial. The poverty in India is a combination of financial , social, physical , educational and lot more and the important thing is all these are interlinked with each other.

Lack of basic education makes one person handicapped and minimizes the chances of employment and better quality of life which leads to financial poverty and finally results into lot more social and household problems. The existing educational system is promoting a certain segment of society but there are still 35% of our population are far from the basic educational facilities.

A group of young professionals from diversified educational background but having a single mission to see the nation as a developed one have come forward and formed an organization called “Gyanodham” Its less an organization and more of an idea, which will try to provide a platform for better education to the deprived. It aims to provide a quality education which will lead to a better quality of life and overall development of the society.

The people behind it are social entrepreneurs, professionals from management sector, non-profit , renewable energy, micro finance etc. These people are enthusiastic and determinant to achieve their goal with hard work and dedication. The organizational head office is in Delhi and have aim to work all over India and open branches in at least the state of its members, i.e. Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Punjab, Orissa, Karnataka, Rajasthan. With a noble approach and cause, Gyanodham has started putting its small steps forward towards its mission from the day of its registration i.e 26th December 2006.

Being one of the executive-members of Gyanodham, I wish all success to its future endeavors and hope that I can contribute my best in the development of my nation through Gyanodham.
