Every ‘socially conscious’ individual can become a partner in rural transformation by ‘Befriending And Supporting A Village Change Leader’
Every ‘socially conscious’ individual can become a partner in rural transformation by ‘Befriending And Supporting A Village Change Leader’
The ‘SarvaPrathamik’ project implemented in villages of Thane and Palghar Districts is a logical extension of educational support given to children of native rural communities during the Corona Pandemic shutdown of schools. The project aims at empowering native rural communities with better awareness and action in providing continuous (uninterrupted) basic education to early and primary learners in their village. An important key in this process of positive change is the role of a trained educated youth within the village who actively works on several levels as follows;
Gets trained in imparting a model of age-appropriate skill-based education in the village preschool and primary school
Connects with parents and community members on a weekly basis to make them aware of their role in the process of child’s growth.
Supports the local village preschool and primary school to become more efficient in providing quality education to the children.
Becomes an influencer of positive change through development in the village community.
