Using secondary data from ASER reports, NGO publications, and government sources, the research analyzes interventions by Pratham, Teach For India, and Door Step School. Findings indicate improvements in enrollment, retention, and learning outcomes. However, sustainability and funding challenges persist. Collaboration between NGOs and public systems is recommended.
