One Rupee Education

Our belief is simple: no student should be turned away from learning because of cost. The One Rupee Education programme (ஒரு ரூபாய் கல்வித் திட்டம்) is TSRO's commitment to making education reachable for every student in Tamil Nadu.

Alongside it, we run the Real Life Learning Wing and build libraries — removing the everyday barriers that keep students from their education.
