About Pratham
Pratham was born in Mumbai as the Pratham Mumbai Education Initiative in 1994-95. Overthe
last nineteen years, Pratham has grown and evolved as it sought to realize its vision of“every
child in school and learning well”. It did so by attempting to build a “societal mission” to
understand, own, and solve problems of education. Initially, it tackled the problem of lack of pre
school or early childhood education in Mumbai but it has now grown into a network
oforganizations with complex structures and dealing with different aspects of universaleducation.
The annual nationwide ASER Survey (Annual Status of Education Report) on learning levelsin
India states that in 2012 only about 46% of children in Grade V in India can read a Grade II level
text. Through its flagship Read India program, Pratham attempts to address the problems in
primary education by mobilizing communities and the Government to get involved in the
process. Pratham currently reaches children in more than 6,000 villages spread across 20 states
and in 26 cities across 10 states through the Read India Program.Pratham is also working to
address challenges in secondary education in India through itsinnovative solution called the
Pratham Open School of Education (POSE). Through POSE,Pratham aims to assist drop-outs in
rural and urban areas to complete their secondary schoolexaminations while simultaneously
providing them with soft skills to support them in thefuture.Pratham is a widely recognized
organization, having received notable awards such as theSkoll Award for Social
Entrepreneurship, the Henry R Kravis Prize in Leadership and theCNN-IBN Indian of the Year
