Strengthening local governance

Gram panchayats, which are the local self-government bodies at the village level in India, improve education by allocating resources and implementing policies and programmes that directly impact the education of rural students.
The School Management Committee is a locally elected body, made up of parents, teachers, community leaders, and other stakeholders, that works in partnership with the school and gram panchayats to ensure that schools are effective, inclusive, and accountable to their communities. The mothers’ and monitoring committees at anganwadi centres engage with parents and other stakeholders to promote education, nutrition, good health, and hygiene in the community.
Aspire works with gram panchayats and community bodies to improve the management of anganwadis, government schools, and hostels and ensure quality learning for all children. Together, we uphold children’s rights for a brighter future.
