Education and Social Change in India

Ravi Gulati, founder of Manzil (http://www.manzil.in),, spoke to a Halle Institute audience about using education as a catalyst for social change. He explained that the Indian education system does not properly serve the country and his school, Manzil, seeks to fill the voids left by the system.

Ravi Gulati brings over a decade of experience and active interest in the fields of education, environment, social entrepreneurship, and alternative economics. As the founder of Manzil he has built an NGO operating out of his own home that motivates and nurtures the drive to think and learn creatively and critically for New Delhi local youth of low-income backgrounds; over 3000 children and youth have benefited from the Manzil community over the last ten years.
