Eklavya is a non-profit, non-government organisation that develops and field tests innovative educational programmes and trains resource people to implement these programmes. It functions through a network of education resource centres located in Madhya Pradesh, India For over two decades, Eklavya has sought to relate the content and pedagogy of education – both formal and non-formal - to social change and the all-round development of the learner. It evolves learner-centred teaching methodologies that foster problem-solving skills in children and encourage them to ask questions about their natural and social environment. This approach helps children become life-long self-learners. Eklavya looks at innovation holistically, which means that reforms in classroom practices are accompanied by reforms in examination systems, teacher training methods and the way schools are managed. It also means that learning spaces are extended beyond the school into the community. Eklavya has built up an extensive base of resource materials that includes educational literature, children's literature, magazines, textbooks and other learning aids. The beginnings In the early years of the decade of the 1980s, a group of educationists and social activists met to discuss the possibility of setting up an institute for educational research and innovative action in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. This group had a long association with a pioneering science education project that had started in 1972 and was then running in around 225 middle schools of Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh. Known as the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Programme (HSTP), this project was a collaborative venture between two non-governmental organisations, Friends Rural Centre (FRC) and Kishore Bharati (KB), and the education department of the Government of Madhya Pradesh. HSTP had begun as a pilot project in 16 middle schools of two blocks of the district in 1972 and had been scaled up after the initial trials to cover all the schools of the district in 1978. The next step was to scale the project further. The fledgling group wanted the new institute to take up this task as its immediate objective. But it envisaged a broader mandate of building up a partnership with the Madhya Pradesh government to improve school education. Under this mandate, the institute would take up innovative experiments in other subjects of the school curriculum from the primary to the higher secondary stage, assimilate the learnings from these projects into the curriculum and textbooks and look for ways to scale up these projects to cover all the schools in the state. The focus would thus stretch beyond the purely academic aspects to include support systems - teacher training packages, extra-curricular packages, administrative reforms, etc - needed to make these curricular packages working realities in schools. In short, the institute would evolve systems for macro-level implementation of micro-level educational experiments and act as a catalyst at the state, district, block and school levels to make the mainstream education system more receptive to innovations. However, while working with the government, it would remain autonomous in its functioning. More importantly, while operating at the state level, it would not be an urban-based institute but would function through a network of field centres situated in small towns and casbahs of the state.
