About:

Inspired by such rational thoughts, a group of IIT Kanpur students together with some socially active persons from the locality decided to overcome this bottleneck by setting up a system that would go beyond the narrow bookish education and link the education to the everyday life of students. These concepts led to the establishment of “Shiksha Sopan”, literally meaning ‘Education to be used as a ladder’ in the year 2001. To put in one sentence,

Shiksha Sopan aims to evolve educational modules, in direct collaboration with the villages close to IITK campus, that will build knowledgeable, self-dependent, confident, socially conscious beings who would be responsible and sensitive to society.
