We offer high cross-functional learning within the ecosystem as well. If you are about building for impact at scale, experimenting, and learning with joy along the way, then Indus Action is the place for you, and we have been looking for you! Project Description Indus Action signed an MoU with the Department of Primary Education, Government of Bihar, in March 2023 to strengthen RTE 2009 Sec. 12(1)(c) implementation in the state and entails work on policy and process redesigning, technology building, capacity building, grievance redressal and registration drives on the ground, among other things. Indus Action aims to stabilize an online process of RTE Act. 2009, Sec. 12(1)(c) implementation by the academic year 2026-27 with a 60% fill rate against the available seats and 100% adherence to the online process of implementation. We are also at an initial stage of another project in collaboration with the Labour Resource Department aimed at enhancing welfare delivery for vulnerable labour populations.
