Abstract
Mukti is a socio-economic organization, working in the domain of health, education, agriculture, livelihood, environment, rights, and disaster management, operating in Sundarbans, the largest delta, and a rural community in South Asia. Mukti surveyed different islands in 2005 with education rates as low as 20 percent and identified education as a possible game changer in the communities of Sundarbans in West Bengal state of India. Different educational and support programs covering elementary education to post-graduation levels have been developed for underprivileged students across rural communities, supplementing the existing educational system. To close the gaps between education and employability, vocational training and placement organizations have been established through the cooperation of volunteers from all over the world using digital platforms.
