unfocused Education of Rural Area

By Jignesh Christi | Project Leader

Dear well-wishers,

Regards from Gram Vikas Trust, Bharuch!

Since 2001, the primary aim of Gram Vikas Trust (GVT) is education. With these years working on education GVT believes that awareness on importance of education is very much low and the other top reason which linked to the first reason is irregularity in school. These two major reasons do not allow students to make their future. They do not able to find out or set an aim for life. Most of the parents just send their children to school, but do not motivate them for studies. The culture of the rural areas also plays a major role in poor education system.

“Black color is sentimentally bad but every black board makes the students life bright.”

- Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam

GVT has seen most of the children study up to 8^th class from the village only, (but the quality of teaching and learning is not good) and even get enrolled in higher secondary in nearby villages. But not able to clear the examination of 10^th class and 12^th class and just waste their lives doing nothing after the failure. Due to less focus on primary education the whole career of students’ life gets destroyed. And it is not only the fault of government system, teachers or parents but together all are equally involved.

At Bharuch, GVT tries to fill the gap, to educate the parents, teachers and students. GVT tried to sensitize the parents and teachers to play their role with care, support and responsibility which will create an atmosphere of education for their child through different awareness meetings with parents and Government teachers training.

All these small efforts will definitely help the child to make his future, a better person who will contribute to our society at larger level. Let us together we try to make our society even better with gifting education to a single child.

Keep Going...

By Jignesh Christi | Project Leader

Dear well-wishers,

Regards from Gram Vikas Trust, Bharuch!

In this project update report, Gram Vikas Trust (GVT) wants to share a beautiful story of a girl. Who could able to work hard to build her future. She is one of the girls from her village, who has completed her graduation course, and now have applied for further studies. She is the only girl from her village who could able to complete her graduation course.

“Do not watch the clock, do what it does. Keep going.”

- Sam Levenson

Dhara (name changed) is a small village girl, her father Ratanbhai (name changed) is an agriculture labor and her mother is a house wife. Dhara is the eldest daughter among four siblings. The youngest son is studying in 8^th standard from the village school, and other sisters have dropped out after completing their 8^th standard.

Ratanbhai has tried hard, for Dhara not to study further after completing 8^th standard from the village. But Dhara was good in studies and she could able to convince her father for further studies, outside of her village. Dhara shared that, ‘from 9^th standard to my graduation studies it was very much difficult for me to continue the studies, as my mother and father were not supporting my higher education, they have been tried harder for my marriage, and few relatives were also tried to misguide my parents but I have not step back from my journey of education. Thanks to GVT for supporting me educational aid, as it could be very much difficult for me to study further if I could not receive the aid from GVT.’

Dhara has also tried for her sisters reenrollment in school and other girls from her village to study further but the community and culture of her village do not motivate the girls for study further. The community believes that the girls have to get married and they will not need education in managing household work, even the boys need not to study more as they also have to work in field/agriculture which also education is not required.

Though it seems development around the world, but the reality is far different. Still the tribal community do not understand the value of education. Education of girls is very less priority for them. GVT tries to support the girls like Dhara, who can become a role model for other girls.

Let us help Dhara and other girls like her, for making their future bright. Let us lighten the lamp of education by supporting such girls.
