Having good number of educated people in India, very few people are willing to pass on their knowledge through social media. And most of them want to teach poor students but they end up in being directionless.
This issue has been clearly addressed by Times of India's Teachindia online free volunteer teaching program. I was really taken by surprise to see such a huge mass of young Indians wants to share their knowledge with students who were not able to get proper education. This is basically done via local NGO's with help of Teachindia.

Teach India is a social initiative from the Times of India that brings together children in need of education and people who can contribute a little time towards teaching them. It is based on one simple principle: If you have the desire to teach, we will put you in touch with underprivileged children who are willing to learn. With esteemed and worthy NGO's already supporting our cause, we now look for selfless individuals to come forward and help change the future of a child forever.
