THEQUESTIONS
Do we really have a problem in the
Indian Education System?
A resounding "yes!"
Who is to be blamed? People who are contributing are
blamed and those who watch are the
ones pointing the fingers.
When governments , policy-makers & the academia,
notwithstanding their earnest effort could hardlymake any real impactcan we do something about
it?
A definitive "yes!"

THEORIGIN
CAMPUS AROUNDTHE CORNER is a start-up NGO,
working towards a transformational community driven
movement for improvement in the quality of education
provided to children in India.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed
citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that
ever has.
CAMPUS AROUND was established in 2011, originally
conceived to publish informational materials to bringabout the intended change in the community. However,
on our interaction with various stakeholders in the
community, we realized that ACTIONSPEAKSLOUDER
THAN WORDS, hence we decided to get hands-on by
becoming a grass-root level organization.

collaboration with the technology industry, provide
many Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) solutions for use by all the stakeholders.
Campus Around is an initiative to create a platform
for the entire community including administrators,
educators, parents, teachers and retired people,
among others, to contribute to the holistic
development of the child.

resources available at their disposal, but the CHANGE
will happen only when every member of the
COMMUNITY comes forward to JOIN THE CAMPUSand proactively CONTRIBUTE towards achieving the
desired OUTCOME rather than just blaming thesystem for its inefficiency.IF YOU STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE
PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND THAT SOMEONE
REALLY NEEDS TO ACT, IT IS YOU WHO HASTO ACT.
