READ India reaching out to these communities through more then 200 Villages, 25 districts, spread across 12 states through various projects supported by Corporate and Government. The READ Model is a proven and replicable set of programs which are primarily based on the establishment of Community Library and Resource Centers (CLRCs), with the full consent and involvement of the rural community in which it is located.

Each center is easily accessible, and includes a library, a computer room, a training hall and sections for children and women. The centers organize activities and programs for training the community members in specialized skills. We also recognize their existing abilities, and help members to advance and market them.

Communities have challenges which differ depending on the region, the culture, the language spoken and geographical factors. Common patterns have been found in all communities, with the problems of illiteracy and poverty being most pervasive in many rural villages.

READ India connects with local partners and corporate organizations to provide training programs in vocational skills, as well as introduce efforts to educate and economically empower villagers, and teach them to use technology to enhance their standard of living.

Women and children in particular are given the chance to learn to read and write, and to earn a living out of the skills they acquire from the center. Youngsters are provided with the skill sets and knowledge which can help them determine their choice of livelihood.

READ India’s ultimate aim is to eventually withdraw from the community, by having the community members take ownership of the center and operate it themselves. This will allow them to grow as an independent, responsible and sustainable community.

Currently, READ India has 31 centers located in the states of Delhi, Haryana, Maharashtra, Manipur, Karnataka, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Bihar, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
