Equality of opportunity is an important ideal to uphold in a just society. Beyond its long-standing commitment to affirmative action, relatively little has been done in India to realize this ideal. Compared to other countries, Indian children raised in poverty have a smaller chance of rising to high positions. Seized of this situation, a group of organizations has taken up the mission of social mobility promotion. Through coaching, mentorship, guidance, information provision and other means, these organizations are helping smart and hard-working children with backgrounds in poverty to aspire, and to achieve, superior career options. We identify five types of social mobility promoting organizations (SMPOs), examine their modes of action and indicate future directions.

促进印度的社会流动

机会均等是公正社会的重要理念。除了对平权行动的长期承诺外，印度在实现这一理想方面所做的工作相对较少。与其他国家相比，在贫困中长大的印度儿童登上高位的机会较小。抓住这一形势，一批组织承担起了促进社会流动的使命。通过辅导、指导、指导、信息提供等方式，这些组织正在帮助贫困背景的聪明勤奋的孩子追求并实现更好的职业选择。我们确定了五种类型的社会流动促进组织 (SMPO)，检查它们的行动模式并指明未来的方向。
