Supporting Organizations

The Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation of India (EVFI) is an independent umbrella organization that facilitates the development of one-teacher schools throughout the rural and tribal regions of India. The movement is spreading with the assistance of various education-based NGO's (Non-Governmental Organizations) active in different regions. These NGOs have long believed in the Ekal Vidyalaya concept and have a firm understanding of the local area. Thus, rather than competing with these organizations for funds and local loyalty, Ekal Vidyalaya has joined hands with regional teams to build a stronger, nationwide, tribal education program.

There are essentially two types of organizations under the Ekal Vidyalaya umbrella -

1. Support Organisation (SPO): Supporting agencies that help fund the work and connect donors to the education movement.

2. State Volunteer Organization(SVO) : Field organizations that have expertise with education in a particular region
