It is noteworthy that Ekal Bharat Lok Shiksha Parishad is constantly moving ahead in a positive direction to strengthen the Ekal Abhiyan. With the help of philanthropists, enlightened people and education lovers of the society who work dedicatedly for the education of rural and tribal children, Ekal schools are being run in most parts of the country today.
Ekal Abhiyan is a leading social organization in the country and is dedicated to the educational and social empowerment of crores of poor villagers. This campaign is being run on the principle of "one village, one teacher, one school". 'Ekal Abhiyan' which started with 60 schools in Jharkhand in 1989 has reached more than 1 lakh schools today, through which about 30 lakh children are getting enlightened with education.
At present, Ekal Abhiyan is running about one lakh schools, which is targeted to reach about 6.5 lakh villages of the country. Ekal Abhiyan does not receive any assistance from the government, it is completely run with the cooperation of the people of the society. Under Ekal Vidyalaya, a school is run by a teacher in a village, in which 25-30 students of the same village regularly receive education. Along with primary education in these schools, the work of all-round development of the village is also being done through health, development, self-respect, awakening and sanskar education. Children of the weak and helpless sections of the society receive Panchmukhi education. By receiving education in Ekal Vidyalaya, these children will be able to contribute to the building of the nation and society in the coming times. By providing primary education by Ekal Vidyalaya, the feeling of patriotism has become strong among the children, which is strengthening the foundation of nation building.
Ekal Vidyalaya fulfills this statement of Swami Vivekananda in which he had said that "If children cannot go to school, then schools will have to reach the children".
On this motto, Ekal Abhiyan is working in the whole of India today and with the help of aware people of the society, Ekal Vidyalaya is continuously moving forward towards its goal at a fast pace. For providing education to tribal and rural children in remote areas of India, rural empowerment, establishing gender and social equality, Ekal Abhiyan Trust has also been awarded the prestigious "Gandhi Peace Award" for the year 2017 by the Government of India at the hands of the then President Ram Nath Kovind in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
