Pratham (a Sanskrit word) means 'first', 'primary' or 'beginning'.
Pratham is a community based grass root organization that promotes education of slum dwelling children in India. Initiated by UNICEF in 1994 with 2,000 children in Mumbai, Pratham now serves over 220,000 children in 20 cities and 10 rural areas across India.
