Vision 2020
Sankalp is now working for Vision 2020 where we have planned to establish 1 centre in each state of the country focusing mainly on disadvantaged sections (SC/ST). We are looking up to establish a network of NGOs for local tie-ups for identifying such areas and jointly establish centers at local levels. We also wish to set up a residential school for tribal girls in Adityapur, Jharkhand to help them complete their education up to Class12th without extraneous family pressures and limitations.
Methodology
- Mainstreaming of out-of-school children by admitting them in some nearby Government School by holding Aam Sabhas and Counselling Sessions in Villages.
- Run full-fledged tuition centres in those villages to supplement the academic needs of children and bring their education level on par with privileged ones.
- Train and fully sponsor the education of selected bright kids from our tuition centres in standard Private/Public schools of Adityapur/Jamshedpur
- Awareness Programme: This is a unique attempt to aware the last person of the society to involve in the project through various means of awareness generation. This will help in raising the local participation as well as contribution from the community.
