Universalization of elementary education is one of the main objectives of SSA since its
inception from 2002.It's a great boon to the girls in
KGBVs, to complete their Elementary Education, who
were once the out of school children. It is mandatory that
RTE Act, 2009 recommends to complete elementary
education for the school age children (6-14 years.)
The Government of Tamil Nadu focuses on the
Out of School children too to complete their Elementary Education by providing opportunities like
KGBVs to attain its ultimate goal of UEE. The girls who are in VIII Std appear for common examination
in the Government school. After completion of VIII Std, the girls are mainstreamed in regular schools
to continue their studies in IX Std and hostel facilities are made through RMSA girls hostels and
welfare hostels
In order to bring out the inherent talents of each and every
girl in KGBVs, Girls are provided ample opportunities to expose to
the world by means of various trainings to them.

Design for Change: Project works in 'You Tube”
Mobile Counselling Van- Guidance and Counselling:
Design For change is a global programme that empowers children to bring about a desirable
change in the existing situation, problem or atmosphere. This programme involves four stages
namely FEEL, IMAGINE, DO and SHARE to design for change the students first should FEEL about any
problem that torments them, IMAGNE a solution to rectify it, Do an appropriate act of change and
SHARE their success story of change with the world.
DFC can bring changes in the minds of the students and make them believe themselves as they
have the concept of “we can”. KGBV Students work together and do projects happily and joyfully
which bring positive result in the work they involve. KGBV teachers are also given DFC training at
District level as like regular teachers.
As a motivation and appreciation of the performances of the girls in KGBV centres, innovative
projects of them are prized by the officials. They are also uploaded in “You Tube”.
The Tamil Nadu Government School Education Department has pressed into service a
“mobile counseling centre” equipped with educational aids and a qualified psychologist to reach out
to schools that have abysmal public examination results and suggest corrective measures to
improve their performance.
G.Rajalakshmi C.Gayathri C.Kokila, D.Nandhini,
E.Sandhiya, G.Praba, R.Keerthana, S.Meurnika,
50
The mobile centre will cover as many schools as possible. The psychologist will interact with
students and teachers to find out the causes for the poor results and come out with solutions. The
students' personal problems are counseled.
The van carries audio-visual gadgets to screen education-oriented compact discs. It would
visit all the identified schools to mentally and psychologically prepare the students to confidently
face examinations. “Dogged by problems such as disturbed family situation and lack of confidence,
the students are faring badly in examinations.
The counseling is aimed at bringing about changes in their behavioral pattern and mental
make-up.” The psychiatrist addressed the students on self development, motivation, developing
inter and intra personal communication skill, decision making and problem solving techniques,
improving their concentration, changing their attitudes, and such topics. The exposure of the
guidance cell brought a considerable change in the attitude and behavior of the girl children in
common
State level achievement survey has been conducted every year
in all kgbv schools for VIII standard children. To identify the
achievement of children in subjects such as Tamil, English and Science
SLAS test has been administered to class VIII. The result 61 KGBV
schools in SLAS for the year 2015-16 is given below:
¶ State Level Assessment Survey (SLAS) in KGBV Schools:

State Level Assessment Survey (2015-16)
51
The overall performance of girls in KGBV indicates that in all the subjects, KGBVs are equal to
the State average performance of schools.
Fund is released by State Project Office, directly to the concerned KGBV School account. This
fund is released periodically in quarters. The vouchers for expenses incurred by the concerned
school are being checked by a team consisting of Block Accountant, BRTE, Block Supervisor and
District Officials. Every quarter Utilization Certificate(UC) prepared by NGO and verified by Block
Supervisor and Block Accountant will have to be produced to Additional Chief Educational Officer.
Only after the submission of the utilization certificate, the next installment fund is released to the
KGBV centers from State Project Office. Finally, KGBV accounts for the current financial year will be
audited by a Charted Accountant. The Utilization Certificate signed by the Auditor and KGBV NGO
will be submitted to State Project Director.
Team effort will always yield success. Convergence of various departments of NCLP, DCPO,
Medical, Police, Child line and other relevant departments with the dept. of education has really
helped the children studying in KGBV schools in our district.
v NCLP has helped through the volunteers in identifying the child labour in our district. We also provide to training NCLP volunteers to help them to discharge their duties in a more efficient way.
v DCPO has been helping by providing the counseling programme to girl children in solving their psychological issues and helps them through awareness programmes of their child rights.
v The Health department periodically conducts the medical checkup and gives Iron tablets, sanitary napkins and takes care for the girls.
v The Police department actually provides the security even during holidays apart from a watchman to the school and also helps the NGO's in identifying the vulnerable dropout in selected regions.
v The child line 1098 helps the district by having a continuous watch out for the dropout children who have been absent for long period.
v In addition to this the Department of Education is supplying all type freebies of government like uniform, textbooks, notebooks, etc., like regular school students besides getting KGBV facilities.
v The SSA personnel take the initiative of mainstreaming admitted the girls in Welfare / RMSA Girls hostels. The continuity of education by these students is continuously monitored by BRTEs.

behind economically .due to my family circumstances, I could not continue my

earned fifty rupees per day by working as house hold host. Then the KGBV
teachers of SSA identified me as a drop out from school
while conducting OSC survey. As they have taken much effort ,I was admitted in
VI std KGBV, Kurichi , Aammapet Block, Erode and I continue my study happily.
Along with curricular activities ,I learn extracurricular activities such as

had no one to look after and so I was assisting my father in house hold work
and grazing the cattle. BRTEs identified me and insisted my father, the need
