Global Collaboration and Mission of SBCODL
Solanki Brothers Council for Open and Distance Learning (SBCODL) is honored to be recognized internationally, holding memberships in the American Montessori Society and the Australian Boarding Schools Association. These affiliations highlight our commitment to maintaining global educational standards and enhancing the learning experience for our students.
India has made notable progress in increasing primary education attendance and expanding literacy rates to approximately three-fourths of the population. This advancement is often cited as a significant contributor to India’s economic rise. However, challenges remain. Despite increased investment in education, 25% of India’s population is still illiterate; only 15% of students reach high school, and just 7% graduate. The quality of education, especially at the senior secondary level, still lags behind that of major developing nations.
To address these issues, SBCODL was established as an autonomous entity under the Section 8 Company Act, 2013, with its registered office in Farrukhabad, Uttar Pradesh. Our mission is to provide relevant and accessible education up to the pre-degree level through innovative public-private partnerships. We are dedicated to overcoming educational challenges and expanding opportunities through innovative and inclusive approaches.
