– Majority of the population belongs to Hindu community .– Dominant cast in village is Gurjar. – The villagers followed the all Hindu rituals and festivals.– The dressing style of community is long white Kurta & Dhoti / Pant & Shirt, for men and

There are many problems in the village but we felt that Girl Child Education is one of the major problem in the village. Very few girls or women are literate in the villages.

We ‘Felt’:

We ‘Imagined’:

As this community is surrounded by the RIICO industrial area, a great scope is being developed for the next generation. If the parents can be counselled and explained of the recent professional courses and technical education for girl child education, they will be motivated for these through campaign and door to door counselling and will be aware of Girl Child Education

• Organised a meeting with community people to make them understand about the initiative of Satya Bharti School.

• Organised a rally on Girl Child Education and educate community people about the importance of education.

• Conducted Street play in different location of community.

• Prepare the Slogans & posters on Girl Child Education.

We ‘Did’:

• People understand the importance of professional Education

• They are willing to enroll their children in different technical Courses which can help them to get good job near to the village as there are many companies which are looking for competent candidate from local area.

Impact on Community:

• Understand the felt need of community and work on it.• Children feel proud to be a part of this campaign and become change

agents.• The satya Bahrti Staff members were with positive attitude to take such

initiatives especially in Gurjar Community. • The Motivation level of Girl Child was very high and put their best effort to

encourage such practices.

Impact on Us:

Experience of Community Members & Teachers:

• The teachers feel that they can make a difference by initiating such kind of campaign in village and protect the Childhood of many children.

• The community people felt that they have to change themselves as per

present society norms and Culture.

• We will educate the community people in Parents Teacher Meetings as well as educate the members of School Development Management Committee so that they can educate the other community people.

• To make villagers aware about the impact of Girl Child Education.

The Road Ahead…..(in the next 3 months)
