Ekal Run 2024 - 5 Edition

The youth wing of Ekal Abhiyan known as Ekal Yuva each year organizes a marathon named Ekal Run. The objective of organizing this marathon is to engage the youths, spread awareness and raise funds for our endeavor of educating and uplifting the rural children. The maiden version of this flagship event was organized in Kolkata and Bangalore in the year 2019.

This marathon saw mammoth participation from running enthusiasts who ran for their chosen category of 5 km, 10 km or 21 km. A Fun Run of 3 km was also organized. For the next two editions also the response was overwhelming and so we are coming up with a more illustrious version next year.

Ekal Abhiyan is a people's movement based on the fundamental principle that the solution to linking the deprived man in the last row to nation's progress lays in education. Basic primary education to children in remote villages manifested in the form of 'Ekal Vidyalayas', form the foundation stone for all Ekal interventions in the village.

Under the Ekal Abhiyan Movement we are running 1,02,552 One Teacher Schools – popularly called “EKAL VIDYALAYA” as on March 31, 2021 which provide non- formal education to 26,32,065 children in remotest villages of India. Ekal Abhiyan is also a recipient of prestigious Gandhi Peace Prize 2017, we had the privilege of receiving this award from honorable President of India Shri Ram Nath Kovind and honorable Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi.
