The Third Eye is a feminist think tank working on the intersections of gender, sexuality, violence, technology and education. It owes its name to pioneering educator Jyotiba Phule’s analogy in Tritiya Ratan, of calling education the third eye through which one views the human condition.

It emerged as a response to the immense role technology plays in the spread of knowledge production, and the deep deficit of open source, bilingual resources to navigate the new parameters of knowledge and access.

The Third Eye takes Nirantar’s three decades of knowledge production for the rural and the marginalised into the digital sphere, to create a feminist learning platform for educators, teachers, grassroots workers, policy makers, researchers, youth and communities in rural, semi urban and urban India. It harnesses the potential of the digital for self-directed learning, continuous learning, and the building of public discourse through learning communities.
