ActionAid in India works with over five million poor and excluded people in 24 states and two union territories to claim their rights and improve their lives.

The Indian Constitution guarantees education as a fundamental right of all citizens. However millions of children continue to remain out of school. ActionAid strongly believes that people have to be educated of their rights and entitlements, and enjoy the benefits.

We empower people with information and training to build the skills and confidence they need to claim their rights. We have seen how state and civil society must work together to ensure free quality education for all children.
