Over the past few years, the schools in Rajasthan have dramatically improved through various schemes and programs implemented by the Department of Education. With the intention of furthering this progress and to address the large financial deficit that schools face, the DoE has created Gyan Sankalp, an education funding portal. Gyan Sankalp is an online platform which seeks to systematically address the education funding gap by linking government initiatives to individual/CSR donors who can directly support the government in these initiatives.
The portal will be transparent; utilizing real-time updates from the MIS, it will present the needs of schools across the state and the impact that funding can have on students.
The projects and initiatives on the funding portal will be government-identified areas that are deemed to be of the utmost importance to address.
The projects on the portal are initiatives that can impact communities across the state. The Department of Education of Rajasthan is poised to use its governance structures in order to implement various projects and transform the funding gap into opportunity for schools.
The scale of need within the state of Rajasthan is too high for the government to address on its own; it requires the partnership of private individual and corporations, working alongside the government, in order to dramatically reduce the funding gap that impacts students across the state. Additionally, the Portal allows for the user to customize their donations to address specific areas or projects that they find of particular importance within government-identified structures.
Organizations and individuals are given autonomy to specify details of how their money is spent in Create a CSR Project, Support a Project, and choose needs in Adopt a School.
