Education has long been touted as the magic wand for both social and economic change. Especially in a country like India, with millions seeking to transcend the shackles of poverty, it has come to be viewed as a lighthouse of hope. Education is the means by which people can equip themselves with skills and knowledge to seek improved sources of livelihood and living standards and become useful citizens. However, this will only take place through immense support and investment in it. That is where the articulation of the important role of donations takes place.

The Impact of Education on Poverty Alleviation

There is a direct relationship between economic growth and poverty reduction based on education. According to the 2023 UNESCO report, in India, higher education enrollment increased to almost 4.14 crore in 2020-21 from 3.85 crore in 2019-20. Therefore, access to education at the nationwide level has risen steeply. Most importantly, female enrollment has also been increasing at an enhanced rate and, hence, closing the gap in gender equality in education.

Further reduced to 27.3 in 2020-21 from 25.6 in the 2019-20 academic year only, the Gross Enrollment Ratio has shown for the 18-23 year age group. This increase in the enrollment figures is indicative of the recognition of the fact that higher education holds the key to better jobs and a chance to break out of poverty.
