Owing to their poverty, during monsoon (rainy season) - these people are happy in
taking their children to fields for farming. Also, with huge family and ignorance
about significance of education, they have reluctance in sending their children
to school & prefer to utilize them as daily wages laborers. Hence, child labor is
a very important issue which we are addressing here.
There are several social bigotries prevailing in the village communities here. Normally,
they don't send their girl child to school and even if they send, they will discontinue
once they attain puberty (say around 12-14 years of age) and immediately get them
married, to shirk off their responsibility. Hence, girl's literacy ratio is very
poor here.
These villagers take bath once in a week (on a specific week day), don't give any
importance to cleanliness and hygienic matters, drink unsafe water, total negligence
to healthcare, no nutritional awareness in food, no pregnancy care, following old
traditional methods for delivering child. Also, they are not aware about any of
the government programs/schemes being brought out from time to time for their welfare
and upliftment and this allows little bit educated people to take disadvantage of
their ignorance.
Hence, our first job was to create awareness in these people about everything through
counseling and attack the root cause of all these social evils through education
and making them understand about the significance of literacy to their children
in the present day environment of technological advancement and opportunities that
exist in every field including agriculture. Literacy brings up growth and enlightens
villagers about the necessity of educating their children, which brings permanent
solution to the present pitiable socio-economic situation of the community we are
operating.
We provide quality education to villagers and help them to develop knowledge necessary
to understand the world around and take effective advantage of the present day world
and grow economically and internally which will uplift the socio-economic condition
of the surrounding village people.
