As a part of CSR initiative of Gujarat Guardian Limited, Jeevantirth has launched a Pilot Project of GCE in 10 selected Villages of Dediapada from 1st December 2016.

Problem Analysis:

It is found that due to ‘School Enrolment Drive” children do get enrolled in the schools but they drop out (rather pushed out) from the school system because of ‘Virtual Exclusion’ – Virtual exclusion refers to children who are in school, but for whatever reason, not learning. (NB: Our study revealed that about 60% children do not learn much in the schools even at lower primary level. Somehow they are promoted to upper primary level but by that time students as well as their parent lose hope in the process of education and they decide not to continue after 7th or 8th standard.) Another problem is – Not Making the Transition to Secondary – Of the children who complete primary, most of them fail to make the transition to secondary. This is more in the case of girl child.narmada-district

Strategic Thrust of the Proposed Project:

  1. To make strong foundation of elementary education by functional literacy and basic mathematical ability.
  2. To create conducive learning environment in schools so that actual learning takes place.
  3. To focus on MLL (Minimum Level of Learning) Competencies of each subjects for Upper Primary.
  4. To ensure that Girls do join Secondary Education after completing their Upper Primary Education.

  1. Project will cover 10 Villages of Dediapada.
