Problem:
Iswar is the first in his community to reach grade 7. His school in the Moraloye Village is 3 kms away from his home in the Salepali Community of Sonepur District in Odisha. Soon, there may not be a school for Iswar to attend at all.  

90% of India's schools are in rural and tribal areas - where a number of factors have contributed to a poor quality of education. Lack of transportation, human resources, and infrastructure have distanced children from seeing a future for themselves - one that's enabled by education. In Odisha, 2.8 percent of children drop out of schools every year, resulting in school closures. Sonepur, a district in Odisha saw over 150 such primary schools being identified for closures in 2019-20.
