  • For most of us, the idea that education is a social good is something we hardly think about and much less doubt. Not so for Ekta Sodha. In her talk, she’ll try to convince us that, at least in rural India, market solutions yield better results than government education programmes. It is young, energetic entrepreneurs like her, she argues, who can transform the education system by competing against one another with their innovative business models and not only make education affordable to low-income families in fishing villages, rural communities and market towns, but also improve educational quality, while adding billions to the economy in the process. Ekta Sodha has been associated with the field of low-cost private schools for many years. She is CEO of Cadmus Education, India and Sodha Schools, which is built on her family business of the last 30 years. Ekta completed her Master of Education in International Leadership and Management from Newcastle University, England. In 2012 Ekta was elected Vice President of the National Independent Schools Alliance (NISA), India, and re-elected again in 2015. NISA has more than 55,400 low-cost private schools. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    When you search opening a school in India, the search results on CZcams are, "how to make lots of money opening school". I want to open a school to help kids from unfortunate backgrounds. I wish "help" was also a priority.

      You only make lots of money if you help lots of people. Profit is helping people. If you don't help people, you lose money and go bust.

    Spend money...dont do low cost schools for the poor. Let the government pay the "high cost" . No "cost" is too much for education..children are country's future. WE have to educate children free cost. Remove subsidies on petrol diesel. If I can spend 10 lakh on a car; I can spend on fuel too. Free food should only be for people who are in abject poverty. Otherwise they should pay. Stop givining free tvs computers, sanitary napkins, ..give education. ONLY EDUCATION. THE EDUCATED WILL be empowered to give back and buy their own food, cars, etc from people who sell..

    Education and Health must be under Govt only not under private.
    U better undertake those institution through your Charitable trust. All fees to govt only.
