The Barefoot College of Tilonia, Rajasthan, India, began in 1972 with the conviction that solutions to rural problems lie within the community. The College addresses problems of drinking water, girls' education, health and sanitation, rural unemployment, income generation, electricity and power, as well as social awareness and the conservation of ecological systems in rural communities. The College benefits the poorest of the poor who have no alternatives. The College encourages practical knowledge and skills rather than paper qualifications through a learning by doing process of education.
