Empower & Rehabilitate 200 girls in Rural India!

Sevikashram's mission is to empower women and girl children with education and life-skills for them to live a respectable life in the society. Kasturbha Sevikashram understands the importance of incorporating leisure into education. To encourage physical activities and sports talents, activity days are held throughout the year.

The annual Sports Day of all the education institutions under Gandigram Trust was held on February 9^th, 2019. Fun games and races were held for students of all age groups. The students showed much enthusiasm to participate and win prizes. This was also an opportunity to impart on them values such as team spirit, leadership and determination. 

 The students of Sevikashram conducted Science Fair which was attended by 150 students of neighbouring two schools. The students enjoyed the fun experiments and interacting with peer group while learning the concepts of science in real life.

Following the Caterpillar’s ‘Learn and Earn’ program held on February 6^th, the Caterpillar team visited Sevikashram on February 19^th. The program aims to help deserving student candidates make small earnings along-side their higher education. Twelve girls from Sevikashram participated for the program; we are happy to inform that nine girls were selected to join on completing the higher secondary education and the remaining three were given conditional offers subjected to meeting certain academic/ health related criteria. We hope to extend these opportunities to more students in the coming academic years.

Examination period is a mentally draining time for all students; to lighten the burden of upcoming X^th and XII^th board exams, we organised motivational talks this month for the students on dealing with exam stress, time management and so on.

Our teachers and staff actively visit the villages to talk to parents and potential students about the goals of Sevikashram and the activities that happen there. We hope this encourages more admissions to the various classes.

The Sevikashram team strives daily to provide a nurturing upbringing for our students and residents. We are extremely grateful for your contribution and expect your continued support in future.
