The project was begun by a set of individuals committed to the cause of primary education in the Public Schools of the State of Karnataka. It is being implemented in close co-ordination with the State Government and its agencies.

Sikshana is all about improving the quality of education in the state-run schools so as to provide an opportunity for children from the lower strata of the society to raise their living standards. In the process, we expect to make a dent on the negative image of the Public school system. The exercise is also aimed at developing a sustainable model which lends itself to replication at higher levels.
