The parental demographic in rural Maharashtra is largely restricted in it's educational background. Many if not all parents have barely completed their primary school education. They hail from backgrounds where livelihood was seen as the utmost priority due to a deficiency in financial resources and general familial support. Under such circumstances, children are faced with an unaccommodating environment at home. With regards to their educational progress, it leads to a less than wholesome experience for these malleable young kids. It is therefore not surprising that more often than not, parents are ill-informed about their role & responsibility in their children's education. Many of them are farmers or daily wage earners e.g. brick layers etc. 

Parental involvement and cognizance of the quintessential role they are obligated to play in their children's education is paramount to the success of the SarvaPrathamik project. For such a purpose, weekly community connect sessions are held between parents and teachers. This entails visits to children's homes every Saturday and served two important functions. Firstly, siblings and parents of children were updated on the progress of their child at school. Secondly, they were informed and held accountable to their role in fostering the holistic development of the child, complementary to their schooling. Though initially hesitant, once parents overcame their internal barriers to participation, they felt a sense of kinship and responsibility upon witnessing the trajectory of their children's progress.
