P&G began its partnership with Pratham by supporting the ‘Read India’ program in Mysore under its initiative ‘Shiksha’ in 2005. In 2015-16, P&G once again joined hands with Pratham to support Pratham’s Early Childhood and Elementary Education interventions by backing the Early Childhood Education (ECE) program and the Read India (RI) program, which later evolved into the ‘Hamara Gaon’ program in 2018. The partnership has since expanded to 13 states, with government collaborations in Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh, Telangana and Delhi, focusing on reducing the learning gaps both through Remedial Education and preemptively through early years Education.
