Mission: to provide quality education for underprivileged communities by creating scalable, swift and effective pedagogies; and implementing them across broad geographies through partnerships with governments, schools &; colleges, corporates and other NGOs.

Research has shown that early foundational skills in literacy and numeracy form the bedrock for future learning. When children fall behind at early stages, they are more likely to remain behind, leading to dropouts and further educational inequalities. Data from national assessments like the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) reveal that a significant proportion of children in rural India, struggle with foundational skills in reading and basic math. Students from marginalized communities and lower-income families are particularly affected, Dignity Education Vision International Inc is addressing this gap and ensuring a bright future for children from marginalised families.
