Every summer, Seasonal Educational Volunteers in Jammu and Kashmir teach nearly 42,000 children of nomadic tribal families. The programme stops these children from missing months of school during the annual migration across the mountains. The Deccan Herald reports that the initiative relies on volunteer teachers who follow the families into high-altitude pastures. Without it, children of nomadic tribal groups would remain out of the formal education system for the entire migration season.
