8)The eighth and final subseries consists of Writings by Sadgopal
The second series, Curated Projects consists of four sub-series which are projects that we are unsure if he was involved in, the possibility is that he was interested in these projects and collected material on them. The sub-series here are:

2) Financing Education in India and its Political Economy
3) P M Bhargava's Petition in Supreme Court

The fourth series, Research References- reports and Publications. It consists of unpublished reports from the government and other NGOs collected and referred by Anil Sadgopal on mostly education and related fields.
The intellectual arrangement strives to preserve the provenance and original order of the papers. Where an original order could not be found, the Archives have applied an order, and folders within the sub-series are arranged usually in chronological or alphabetical order.
Anil Sadgopal is a biochemist by training and has a Doctorate in Biochemistry from the California Institute of Technology. He gave up his career as a theoretical scientist in the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Bombay, to work for the improvement of the living conditions of the people in the villages. He is the founder of Kishore Bharati, which is a voluntary organization and was registered as a society in 1970. The objectives of Kishore Bharati was to effect social change by overhauling the rural education system to make it relevant to the village conditions, and to create the requisite social and economic infrastructure for an integrated approach to rural development through the application of science and technology. Due to their focus on Education, one of the first problems tackled by Kishore Bharati were to devise a system of education in science for children in middle schools suited to rural conditions. This has come to be known as Hoshangabad Vigyan or Hoshangabad Science Teaching Programme. He is also known for his advocacy related to the Right to Education (RTE). Some of his other projects can be found in the collection.
