Tough Time Again!

It is the time for paying the fee for the final examinations. Our government gives us right to be educated up to the age of 14. So when we cross this threshold, this right stands cancelled. 

Government is spending about Rs.42,000 Cr for education, but even government run schools charge fees for admission and examination. Our poor students get bicycles on the name of promoting education in rural areas especially for girls, but without examination they find it a bit tough to be motivated for studies, even if they want to be.

Due to this travesty of our education system, we found two girls of class X in a state run government high school, Udhanapur, Koria (CG), whose single parent was not in a condition to pay their daughters' fees for the final examination. Though the amount paid by 'Parivartan' was a mere Rs.325 each, however it has a value for many of the rural people in India.

We wish the girls all the luck for their examination and for their parent to get a source of income, to get them enrolled next year, at least in a government school.

We are thankful to Mr Pramod Kumar for his generous support for ‘Parivartan’. He is guiding ten V std rural students for ‘Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST)’ which is held every year for the only Navodaya Vidyalaya in a district throughout the country.

All the expenditure is borne by the HRD Ministry, GOI for about 80 students who are getting through every year. The quality of education there is considered to be on a par with the finest schools of the country and probably the best a rural student can get in the area. We also provided some entrance examination books to them. This may be their gateway to a different world. Thanking Mr Pramod Kumar once again, we wish them all the luck and success!

A four-day Computer Program was organized in Bhatgaon, Surguja (Chhattisgarh) in collaboration with ‘Sunshine Hi-tech Coaching Classes’. We are thankful to Mr. Sant Kumar, the man behind the whole program, an alumnus of JNV Basdei, for the kind support.

21 students from the nearby villages attended the program. They enjoyed learning the basics of computer, for many of them this was their first encounter with some device called ‘Computer’. The whole program was planned and executed by the proprietor of ‘Sunshine Hi-tech Coaching Classes’ Mr. Sant Kumar and his team. In support of our vision, he is also guiding two V std students in preparing ‘Navodaya Vidyalaya Entrance Examination’ as of now. Their performance has been very good and that made him think to include some more students very soon.
