TWINT: Problem Statement, Intervention and Targeted Outcome

Problem Statement

Fault-lines of Indian Polity
  1. Acute lack of awareness of our country (past and present) in majority Indians (of which a very large constituent is rural Bharat), and hence severe lack of pride – beyond the rhetoric – in our country
  2. In overwhelming majority of Indians (of which a very large constituent is rural Bharat), acute lack of:
    • Values
    • Life Skills
    • Social Skills
    • Environmental Skills
  3. In overwhelming majority of Indians (of which a very large constituent is rural Bharat), no focus on education of essentials for building India as a great economy powerhouse
    • Scientific temperament
    • PPQ (Planning, Process, Quality) in all facets of life
    • Entrepreneurial Skills
  4. Lack of any effort in fixing all of the above at an age it must be fixed for perennial and sustained impact: The Primary School Age
