Studies in India show that although there has been a marked improvement in education standards especially in rural areas, there are still countless children living in remote areas who don’t have access to basic education. Lack of proper infrastructure like adequate classrooms, teaching equipment, and even basic facilities like clean water and toilet facilities in schools is another key reason
