Our Work
Education
RTE 12.1.(c), a groundbreaking policy, provides ten years of free education in private schools to underprivileged children. The government directly reimburses schools, ensuring inclusive access to quality education.
Livelihoods
India’s demographic dividend meets its skill gap through government-subsidized Apprenticeships and Internships. These policies foster employment, skilling, economic growth, and empower youth to build sustainable careers.
Health
We are all set to launch a new policy in the healthcare sector. After evaluating several impactful policies through a specialized framework, we’ve identified one with significant potential. You’ll soon hear about it from us. Stay tuned!
We are on a mission to combat dual challenges of poverty and inequality by activating social policies into real world outcomes, end-to-end, from draft to delivery.

Stories of Change
Meet Arti, a shining star among students admitted through the RTE program in 2015. Like many others…
My name is Vishwas Pandey, and I am from Prayagraj. Witnessing my father’s struggles to provide for our family…
This apprenticeship has given me more than just technical knowledge- it has given me hope for a brighter future.
With RightWalk’s support, I overcame challenges, proved my abilities, and ensured a better future for my family.
Saigara Apparels in Palakkad was rescued by ITI students who became apprentices.
What They Say
With interventions in education and skill/employment, the organisation is making poor households more ‘sustainable’ by ensuring access to quality education, income generation opportunities and health. The improvement of institutions and policy reforms remains the fulcrum of RightWalk’s planning, fundraising, and implementation activities. Under the exemplary leadership of Samina, this non-profit has not only managed to demonstrate good work but has also gone on to scale it through a public-private partnership that is truly inspiring.
Samina fearlessly tackles challenges, mobilising resources and leading legal battles to ensure crucial education laws are implemented. Her quiet determination and impressive achievements include enrolling nearly one hundred thousand children in UP. She leads with resilience, overcoming obstacles with an agile and strategic approach. Samina’s ability to build alliances and adapt to challenges makes her a formidable leader in driving social change.
RightWalk Foundation has played a pivotal role in developing the EPinc platform, organising successful campaigns, and now spearheading the nationwide launch of EPInc. RightWalk Foundation showcases exceptional leadership, intelligence, and dedication to improving education in India. Their ability to connect with diverse communities and drive positive change is truly inspiring.
Apart from the passionate and enthusiastic team RightWalk has, one of the unique selling points of the organisation is the fact that the true essence of selflessness reflects in the activities/causes that it picks up, acting as an enabler for creating a better society, and a better tomorrow. I confidently vouch for RightWalk’s activities & projects, Social Inclusion in particular.
Had it not been for the RightWalk Foundation, the state wouldn’t have had achieved over 2 lakh applications within a span of 2 years. Right from putting forward the idea of tech enabling the entire process of RTE to actual implementation of the portal, RightWalk had been a paramount part of the entire cycle.
