Shikshakarmi is an Indian term for an education worker — typically a para-teacher or community-based educator employed under government schemes to extend primary schooling to underserved rural areas. Derived from Hindi, the word combines 'shiksha' (education) with 'karmi' (worker). Shikshakarmi programmes have been central to India's efforts to expand literacy in remote villages, placing trained community members in teaching roles where formal infrastructure is limited.
The shikshakarmi in our village walked two kilometres every morning to teach the children reading and maths.
