Lokbharati is a leading organization that focuses on educating rural areas in India. It has significantly helped rural higher education in Gujarat and Read more other regions, offering learning opportunities to people in rural areas who usually have limited chances. Lokbharati represents a movement that blends social change with practical actions, aiming to improve rural life and the well-being of its people through a self-sufficient and eco-friendly lifestyle. The main idea of the institution is captured in its motto, which highlights two types of knowledge: "Vidya" (self-awareness, or learning to be) and "Avidya" (skills and knowledge for work). The goal is to teach these aspects, combining practical knowledge, productive work, and social interaction. When these elements are not in harmony, it creates a gap between the "elite" and the "common people," leading to an unsustainable society. Lokbharati aims to close this gap and promote a more balanced and sustainable approach to education and social development.
