EDUCATIONAL
Educational function is organized on village level. We run our educational projects, where there is no facility of formal or informal education for growing children. The teachers are trained and their skill continuously upgraded to meet the ever-changing requirement.
1. Formal Education: (SARASWATI SHISHU/VIDYA MANDIR)- Saraswati Shishu/Vidya Mandirs are being run by SRIHARI VANVASI VIKAS SAMITI affiliated to Vanvasi Kalyan Kendra. Presently 27 High schools and 73 primary secondary schools are running for imparting education based on Indian philosophy and values.
In these schools, about 18,000 students are being taught by dedicated 700 Acharyas (Teachers). 70 percent of these students belong to tribal society. The schools results are more than 90% and some of the students take good ranks in the state in matriculation board examination every year.
In view of all-round development of students, many types of activities are organized like quiz, calligraphy, painting, essay writing, sports, science exhibition and meritorious students competition at the state level. Along with this, SHISHU Camps are organized for personality development. Coaching classes are also arranged for weak students.
2. Non-formal education: EKAL VIDYALAYA – (One Teacher Schools)-Through 364 Ekal Vidyalaya & 5 Bal Sanskar Kendra children are being educated to have basic educational needs. Students are prepared up to class V standard in five years duration.
Rural Tribal children suffering from lack of basic facilities and schools are deprived of education due to family and economic compulsion. Keeping this in mind, the concept of non-formal education as Ekal vidyalaya was started in 1989. In these schools, 3 hours of education is given to rural children through songs, games and stories by teachers who are trained by us.
3. Hostels – We run 15 small residential hostels in 13 places with a total of 574 students. 4 hostels are for girl students.
Intelligent & meritorious tribal boys-girls of remote & distant places are given opportunity for secondary & higher education by providing hostel facilities at suitable places. Success of VKK hostels lies in preparing such boys and girls as are ever willing to work for the society.
