Project Shakshar samaj

Here comes “ Project Shakshar samaj” –

The project has an ambitious, but achievable intention of motivating illiterates and dropouts towards education, by 2010. The quantum, we report, may look miniscule, given the reality that exists around us, but for us it’s the intensity of involvement which rises above the magnitude and scales.

A survey conducted shows that approximately 52% of the children who enrolls into primary school drop out when they go to 1st and 5th standard. If this startling report is to be believed, then vision 2010 seems like a distant reality.

A study shows that;-
* 90% of the children had very low levels of self esteem.
* 80% of the children were delinquent.
* 90% of the children had never heard of something like "planning ones future”.

After putting up a long struggle, finally we have got a small piece of land on lease from a person residing in Haral, Champahati to start a primary school. Due to severe financial constraints, we are starting the school with temporary structure, from class 1 to class V, with a current student headcount of 30.

We have identified 3 teachers who are going to teach these students. This will give us an idea, about the response of the local children willing to come to school, as we have observed that there is a genuine lack of interest exhibited by the children in improving their lives and the environment in which they studied.
