Launched on September 7th, 2021, Vidyanjali, an initiative of the Ministry of Education, operates as an online portal facilitating direct connections between volunteers and schools. The primary goal is to address the knowledge, skill, human resource, and infrastructure gaps in schools by harnessing the potential available in civil society. Through this initiative, the government aims to mobilize contributions from various segments of society, including alumni of educational institutions, serving and retired teachers, scientists, government and semi-government officials, retired armed forces personnel, self-employed individuals, and salaried professionals. Schools benefit from the expertise and support of volunteers, thereby contributing to the overall improvement of the education system.
