Dear colleagues

Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) . Recently, he also won the Chevening Scholarship that provides a fully-funded education in the UK, apart from unique leadership opportunities.  As a professional social worker, Raju has been engaged with tribal and rural community development for the last nine years.

I invited Raju to join the GeoForAll community and mailing list, so he can get more information.


Raju, Welcome  to GeoForAll. Central to “Geo for All” mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone. Access to quality education and opportunities is key for getting rid of extreme poverty and enable broadly shared prosperity for all. Looking forward to working and building collaborations with all interested on this open education mission.

Dear colleagues,   As GeoForAll community is spread in universities around the world, I would like to request colleagues to please share information on any scholarships, free training programs etc in your universities by sharing the information in GeoForAll maillist. Raju will then share relevant opportunities with his team, so more students from economically poor backgrounds can also access these opportunities.


You can contact Raju directly for any information on Ekalvya and he will be happy to get your advice and inputs.



Thank you in advance for your help.


Best wishes


Suchith
