Future Prospects

The program hope to construct a Residential School with capacity of 200 adivasi girls with classrooms, faculty rooms, laboratories, computer rooms, sports area, assembly hall, and dormitories. It also aims at building a Training Centre to run its various short term training courses.

In the long-term, it is the goal to combine the 2 projects on health and education to have special education for adivasi children that are affected by the Sickle Cell disease. Furthermore, the awareness should be created among the teachers that non-formal education should be provided from the adivasi community to others in the community on a voluntary basis.

•    A critical review of the educational intervention policy at the grassroots.

•    An appraisal of the critical areas of relevant contextual and life supporting educational systems.



Possible Areas of Training

•    Training for village based formal/ non-formal Institutions (Local Governance) - to initiate location specific, system oriented need-      base approach.

•    Training for the officers of State educational Department to initiate a healthy process of a dialogue and better intervention.

•    Training of Non Governmental / Voluntary Organisations for seeking community participation in development programme.
