Justification of the Project: An educated mother can best teach her child. But the remote rural areas of Bara Bankra face the tragedy of illiterate parents who rather deprives their children from getting the basic schooling. The effect is generation after generation remains uneducated, gripped by poverty, suffers from worse health condition.  Moreover illiteracy has increased ignorance to basic social security and that has said upon their future. A lady believes her girl child can take care of her little brother and help in household works instead of going to school. And this is how the number of dropout increases. So we decided to start a program “Adult Education for Rural People” here. In this context we gathered a team of fresh educated persons to take classes in our adult education centre.

Our Objectives: Learning has no age restraint and so its better to start now instead of being illiterate forever. This sole mantra of adult education was preached by ASHA-O-ALO in Bara Bankra. In the first phase we started with the preliminary education such as learning alphabets, numerical countings, knowing basic needs and learning good habits familiarization with the locality-state-country and hygienic living.

          In the next phase we will provide higher education to the aspiring people and help them stand on their feet. Regarding this we are planning for technical education, vocational trainings, paramedical trainings, nursing trainings and higher level learning through open universities.  We would financially make them avail all these educations to bring success in life for the adult rural learners in Bara Bankra.

Our Achievements and the Milestones Ahead: It was a tough challenge for us to bring mothers for schooling. Farmers who had a tough day in the field work would calmly watch drama rather join classes. So we arranged door to door campaigns, dramas, talk shows and spread pamphlets to motivate the mass for adult education. The innovative thinking of providing clothes (saree for women, school uniforms for children, blankets) to bring the adult persons for learning has really helped and today more and more people  regularly attained classes. Even many of them are interested in higher education. They can now fill up forms, understand baking functions; report a problem to the authority. We find a confident Father-Mother who consciously sends their children to school.

          But lot has yet to be done. Local inhabitants who wish to pursue higher studies deserve kind attention in financial relief. We require funds to arrange study materials, a building, desks, 3/4 computers,  organizing campaigns and provide a minimum remuneration to the teachers who are spending their valuable time for the sake of this dignified cause.
