Expansion Plans 2009-10

"There is no single village,
town or city in North India
which is 100% child literate"




** Total Literacy Mission **
*** Mullahera Village, Gurgaon ***

भारत निर्माण की दिशा में एक सार्थक कदम

Working on the philosophy of taking small steps to bring about that big change, we have planned to expand our migrant child education program for the year 2009-2010. To cater the migrant population child education problems, we are expanding our ‘School of Excellence’ aiming to achieve 100% child literacy, i.e. to make each and every child between the age group 5-12 years of the nearby villages literate.

* Our main objective for this session is to obtain 100% child literacy rate for Mullahera, Dhundahera and Carterpuri villages of Gurgaon district.

* Students who have got admitted into village govt. school will be montiored by 'Prayatna' team. Only admissions into schools is not our motive, besides that regular monitoring of each and every child's progress and regular talks with their parents is our next move. This step will focus on drop out problem of migrant children. In any case regular studies and cope with their daily problems is our prime concern.

Mullahera being our target area in the past six months, due to easy accessibility and support from the local population including the panchayat.will remain our first focus area. Nearby villages Dhundahera and Carterpuri villages are also in our target area list as they accommodate large number of child laborers and migrant families who are considered deprived sections of society.

Target dates: We will strive to achieve total literacy or 100% child literacy by timeframe of one year from 1st July 2009 to 30th June 2010."

It will be the first attempt of its kind in this part of the country from any non govt. organization. It will have a huge impact on education campaigns or literacy programs running across nation which will certainly ensure a more literate and an EDUCATED INDIA.


Survey is being conducted-
a) To get the exact data of children population in Mullahera village having age above 5 years.
b) School is to going to resume from 4th July’09. Children covered in survey will be accompanied in classes at 'Prayatna' center.
c) A team of college students/professionals/local teachers is formed to conduct survey.


Keys to Success
* A realistic goal and a well planned approach will ensure the achievement of the purpose.
* Our team consists of dedicated and committed individuals who are completely devoted
for the realization of their dream of sending every child to school.
* All our team members are highly educated and working professionals who can apply their learned knowledge for this great noble cause.
* Help, support and guidance from senior members of the society, the likes of Mr. Joydeep Roy (CEO, ITIS) and Ex Army Officer Major General Satbir Singh promises fruitful results for the efforts of the youth.
* Support from the local population including the governing bodies like the panchayat will certainly be a key factor in the accomplishment of the mission.
* Support and Help from Global Organizations like CRY who works for child upliftment.
