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. Program by: K Prafull Reddy, Patron, '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.

I started taking tuition for primary students at my home in Surguja (C.G) as a part of our ' Project Gyan' . Presently eight students are directly getting the benefit of the project. As I am a teacher, I enjoy interacting with them. Like other children who get all the facilities in life, they have high dreams for themselves.
They are brilliant, but lack support in academics at home. Their illiterate or primary educated, busy in day-today activities are not able to help them even when they want to. However, some people still do not understand the value of education,. For them sending their child to school is to prevent them doing wrong things or to save lunch. Sometimes when their child can be given a work then work is preferred rather than sending him to school.

| Some never get a chance to see a school |
Girls who always have some work at home never get the chance to see the school still in some areas. When I tried to persuade some of the parents to sent their child to school as part of 'Project School', some of them agreed and sent their children to schools, but many were reluctant. I persuaded a family to enroll their 14 year daughter in class I. It was my biggest satisfaction.

Recently I visited a government primary school in my hometown in Chhattisgarh. It was my first work and I was shocked to see the situations. There is only one teacher for about 80 students. He is everything for the school, to my surprise; he was engaged in ‘Photography’ for the Election Commission. Students were left to study on their own often. In addition, like many schools in India, students from more than one class were getting education in the same room.

I interacted with the students and I found their academic performance quite unsatisfactory. Many students even from class V were unable to read and they were uncomfortable with basic mathematical operations like addition, subtraction. I wanted to finish some chapters of their mathematics textbook, but could not finish even the first exercise. However, they are bright and fairly smart in general questions and aptitude. With few basic questions like ‘which district do you live?’ I tried some complicated questions like ‘Who is the government?’ The answer to the second part from a student of IV was ‘One who distributes free rice, wheat and other things at cheaper rate and also runs the country.’
I was leant that ‘Municipal Corporation’ runs this school, even than the situation is dismal. I can think about the situation in village schools. So much of money and resources is spent for education in India, but without a holistic strategy and that is why we do not have the optimum results ever.
Shala pravesh mahautsav held I got chance 2 talk with villagers n teachers.I observe in rural areas people are uneducated so they can't guide there children properly n many teachers lacking in there interest. they work 1ly because of fear from higher authority.student r charming they have got spark in there life it was quite pleasing to see there activities(mischivious act) .needing thing is that a harmony should be established among villagers n teachers as teachers are generally outsider they need some local support to continue there job properly as students are not regularly come to school . I also visited girl's kasturba school at mainpath position of girls was very good there. there is about seven of such a school in chhattishgarh we can suggest rural n poor people to go for such a school becoz everithing is free for girls there and good environment also teachers are well qualified. ample amount of goods are there for physical n mental development
कदम उठाओ ताकि बदले इंडिया ! कदम उठाओ ताकि खून में हरकत हो , हाथ पे हाथ रखना कही हमारी आदत ना बन जाये, कमजोरी कही हमारी बैसाखी ना बन जाये , रुक जाने के गर बहाने बहुत है , चलने कि भी वजह कुछ कम नहीं है , एक कदम तो बढाओ , हमारा विश्वास है हज़ार उठेंगे , शुरुआत तो करो बदलेगा इंडिया
I have visited a few school at Mainpath dist surguja {c.g.} condition of students is too much critical there. I realise there they people dont know even "what is dream "?.first we have to visualise them "what is dream "?.they people daily use to work hard(even primary school students) to earn ,boys go to jungle & fetch wood and sell they used to go for ploughing , rarely they used come to school,girls also go to fields at that place child marriage is also commonly prevails aboriginal boys and girls get married on the age when they have to learn a b c d they spend their money in wastefull manner never for futuristic aspacts . on my visiting at school no one make eye contact with me even no one told his/her name properly when i ask to them .
