Education for a sustainable tomorrow.
Meer Foundation's education initiatives bridge the rural-urban learning divide in Chhattisgarh. From CGBSE Class 1-12 study materials to climate science certification and children's magazines — every resource is free for rural communities.
The education practice area
Education is the foundation of every other practice area. Without quality learning, there is no climate action, no health awareness, no rural enterprise, no river restoration. That is why Meer Foundation's education initiatives span every age group — from Class 1 to certification-level professionals.
Our mission
Bridge the rural-urban learning divide in Chhattisgarh. Provide CGBSE-aligned study materials, climate-science certification, and platforms for rural children's voices.
Our approach
Materials first, devices second. Every PDF works offline. Every course is mentor-led. Every magazine is authored by the students themselves — not for them.
Our impact
128 PDFs, 2,847 students, 3 distinct initiatives, 4 free awareness courses. 82% Prayaas Bastar pass rate in CGBSE Class 8 — up from a 41% baseline.
Aligned to CGBSE. Every Prayaas PDF is mapped chapter-by-chapter to the Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education syllabus. Students can use these materials as their primary textbook or as a revision aid alongside their school textbook.
Three initiatives, one mission
The education practice area is delivered through three distinct initiatives, each addressing a different gap: school-level materials (Prayaas), professional certification (EduSuTo), and student-authored expression (Guriya Magazine).
Prayaas curriculum coverage
Prayaas covers all 12 CGBSE classes. Each class has 4-7 subjects, and every subject is available in both English and Hindi. The full library contains 128 downloadable PDFs.
Why rural education matters
Education is the single highest-leverage intervention in rural development. One PDF in a teacher's hand reaches 30 students a year, for years.
