Rajasthan Education Initiative (REI)
 Led by the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Vasundhara Raje, the REI was launched at the India Economic Summit in November 2005 in New Delhi. Partners of the REI include the Government of Rajasthan, World Economic Forum, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the Global eSchools and Communities Initiative of the UNICT task force (GeSCI). The REI will play a facilitating role in the creation and implementation of public private partnerships through projects that focus on improving the delivery of educational services, and in particular on promoting equitable access, enrolment and retention of children in schools, reducing gender disparities, promoting skill development and enhancing learning levels.

The challenge can only be jointly resolved, with the government and private sector working hand in hand with civil society and other organizations."
