Educate a girl child by supporting her fees by Nav Bharat Jagriti Kendra

Ensure a better life for a girl child with bright future by providing fees for their education

In Jharkhand the dropout rate of girls is very high and the maximum number of dropouts and deprived girls belongs to remote and hard to reach areas. One of the biggest reasons for this is the distance of schools and no or very few transport facilities in their area.

NBJK has established a Chandrakala Devi Daga High School in one of the remote areas of Chouparan block of Hazaribagh district of Jharkhand. The school was established for those girls who are educationally deprived or are dropouts to whom the organization is providing books, tuition fee and dress. The school is affiliated to Jharkhand Board and result of the school is around 98%. Most of the girls of this school are sponsored by GiveIndia.

Apart from this the other beneficiaries are the girls who are studying in village govt. school or want to study but due to low family income or social and personal issues they are deprived to go to good schools or they have left the schools. They are also forced to marry at an early age. So under this project identification of these beneficiaries is basically done by our NBJK ground/ field staff. They are enlightened through proper counseling of parents and regarding the role of education in nurturing a career and thus they agree to send them to schools. During the period a total fifty five (55) girls who wanted to continue their study have received support. They celebrate republic day at school. These beneficiaries received quality education provided by qualified and experienced teachers in the school. Good Learning and teaching environment is provided. Books and school uniforms are also provided to these girls.
