The Court and the Constitution of India


I am very proud, very proud to report that Kalpana, co-founder of the Rainbow School, just told me her father published a very important book with Oxford University Press.

Judge Reddy served on the Supreme Court of India from 1978 to 1987. His excellent book outlines the history of the court over the past six decades. I had the honor of sharing some time with him, and he is an outstanding human rights thinker. Judge Reddy is so proud of his daughter, and so am I. You can buy his book, The Court and Constitution of India: Summit and Shallows here, in India: http://www.oup.co.in/search_detail.php?id=144755

And here in the United States: http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/Law/ComparativeLawandNationalLegalSy/?view=usa&ci=9780195696998

Thank you, Judge, for all you do for India. And thank you, Kalpana, for all you do for the Rainbow School, the Madhapur School, and the rest of our Hy-Tech area schools. You are a real treasure and we all love and thank you.

MobilesForGood: EDU

Together with the students, parents, and teaching team, we did it. Ten years of the Rainbow Primary School. Our school is a government-funded, local-language (Telugu) school that serves 230 children every day absolutely free. We celebrated by opening  an after-school center last month with the best education NGO in the world, Pratham. For the past five years, I've worked on research projects and helped NGOs that have an interest in developing mobile tools for learning. Globally, there are three populations of students that need to close the education gap. 1. 52 million children globally not in school at all. Most are out of school for one or more of these reasons: conflict/no public services (fragile state), lack of legal papers, migrants, or they are female. Migration is a big issue in our area around the Rainbow School. 2. 200 million children globally are in school, but suffer from poor in-class teaching. These students cannot read at grade level.
