GIDF's President Speaks
I have often said that the future of India depends largely upon the future of education in our country. The demographic dividend that so many of us so proudly talk about, will actually be a mirage and also be counterproductive, if we continue with the kind of education system that we currently have in India.

e-Shiksha Sucess Stories
Chanchal: Nothing Is Impossible
Village Awan, Madhya Pradesh
17 year old Chanchal always wanted to become a Chartered Accountant, but her dreams suffered a rude jolt when she was forced to drop out after class twelve. Her father is a bonded labourer, who took a loan from a local moneylender around 10 years back to ward off a family crisis, and had been repaying its interest ever since. There was no way he could support his daughter’s higher education. ACM GIDF’s e-shiksha program rekindled Chanchal’s lost hope. When she came to know about the program from her friends, she approached us, and got herself enrolled. Even while she was learning computers, we conducted a few sessions of career counselling with her and convinced her to join a correspondence course of graduation in commerce. After completion of her course, she is now working as an accountant in a private firm in Guna, and contributing to her family as well. Her father is extremely proud of her, and we believe, with her dedication and sense of purpose, she will soon fulfil her dreams of becoming a Chartered Accountant.
Pappu Lodha: Back To Being Confident
Paderkhadi, Madhya Pradesh
After Pappu’s father died of a protracted illness, the responsibility of the family of five came to him, being the eldest son. The family didn’t have much to depend on. Even while continuing his studies, 17 year old Pappu had to concentrate on their only source of income – a small piece of agricultural land. This had a severe toll on his studies, and he failed in his class 12 exams. His dream of becoming a computer engineer was shattered, by all means. Just when all hopes seemed lost, he heard of e-shiksha and enrolled himself into the program. Our career-counsellors convinced him to re-appear for his 12th exams through correspondence. Assisted by GIDF, Pappu is now actively pursuing a career as a computer operator, but he now believes that will be just the beginning. High on confidence, he was the topper in a class exam held at the learning centre, and he says that his job as a computer operator will just be a stepping stone to future educational qualifications. He is thankful to ACM GIDF to help him make a turn around, and has also enrolled his younger sister to the e-shiksha course.
