15 study lights for rural Maharashtra
Fifteen Flash Forward study lights support Loksadhana's work across education, skills, health and women's empowerment, adding an estimated 90 learning hours each day.
Loksadhana began in 1982 in Chikhalgaon, a village in Maharashtra's Konkan region, founded by Dr. Raja Dandekar and Professor Renu Dandekar. Its school opened in 1987 and reports more than 2,700 graduates.
The trust says it now works across 56 villages. Its skills center serves about 450 people each year, and it reports more than 140 alumni entrepreneurs. Two hostels provide space for nearly 200 students who live too far to travel to school each day.
Loksadhana's relationships across rural Maharashtra guide the 15 lights toward students who can use the added hours after sunset.
