Conduct action-oriented research to provide practical solutions for the educational inclusion of migrant brick workers’ children.
The Kumarappa Gram Swaraj Sansthan (KIGS) is focused on empowering underprivileged community members through realistic, innovative and sustainable interventions on a grassroots level in order to promote self-governance.
