Friends of Tribals Society
I would like to invite all of our users and community members to come forward and maintain the page up to date with required necessary information.

As far as I know about this organization is as below:

Friends of Tribal Society is a voluntary organisation engaged in the onerous task of spreading literacy to the tribal and other deprived people living in remote areas of our country. With headquarters in Kolkata they have chapters all over India.

They had started activities in 1989 from the state of Jharkhand with basic education. Today, along with like minded organizations, they are spread all over the country with more than 28,000 Ekal Vidyalayas. They call it Ekal Vidyalaya as this is a One Teacher School.

Gradually they added to their activities and today are helping this section of our society with three other activities – Health Education, Development Education and Empowerment Education.

The vision is to have 1,00,000 – one lac – Ekal units by 2011.

The financial support for the various projects undertaken by FTS, comes through voluntary contributions and donations.
