In the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, almost half of the children in rural areas never get the chance to go to school. Schools are too far away, not taught in the local language, or are simply too expensive.
CSR is working to achieve full enrollment in a specific rural district of Tamil Nadu. CSR trains teachers and works with other local organizations to establish a network of concerned parents and supporters to improve the schools.
