Scope and Target Group

     Education and training are very important inputs in human resource development as a part of holistic development of our society. Education assumes greater importance in the development of children who are comparatively left behind because of various social disabilities.

 Barhaj is a place in Deoria District situated on the bank of river Ghaghara, the literacy rate of the area is 30%. In spite of the government’s effort for the last 50 years of planned development and social provision for accelerated socioeconomic development of weaker sections, the gap in the literacy levels among general populations and the socially disadvantaged sections is persisting and in certain cases this gap in further widening.

Therefore special measures have to be taken to ensure higher literacy among these children, supplemented by vocational training programmes focusing on the employment and market needs. Further considering the important role of bringing out young children from their families and shaping their future by improving educational facilities for them, will not only help in improving their social and economic status, but also pay handsome dividend in the context of social economic development. This was exactly the rationale and tenet behind various Government and Non-Government organizations including several activities for improving literacy and sociability among young children.
