Activities within the grant and expected impact:
The project is towards supporting MITTRA to expand
the reach of the Shikshan-Mittra programme and strengthen
its impact on tribal schools and students. Some
of the key objectives of the programme are:
|
|
To equip the tribal students with life skills
and information |
|
|
To provide avenues for personality development |
|
|
To facilitate better career options for
tribal boys and girls |
|
|
To facilitate a complementary interaction
between the ashram schools / shalas and the
community / parents |
|
|
To develop a sense of ownership about the
programme in the ‘school community’
through effective participation of students
and teachers in the planning, implementation
and monitoring of the programme |
|
|
To develop direct linkages of the programme
with formal / prescribed school curriculum |
|
|
To provide relevant insights into policy
making by establishing appropriate feedback
mechanisms. |
Key deliverables of the programme are to:
|
|
Enable MITTRA reach out to about 50 ashram
shalas (out of a total of 117 in the district),
which would expose over 6,000 students to
life-skills-based education, whilst equipping
at least 33 per cent (2,000) of these students
with improved agricultural skills that are
relevant to the rural context |
|
|
Initiate linking of the Shikshan-Mittra
programme with prescribed school curriculum
in around 70 per cent (35) schools |
|
|
Expose 750 ex-students with information
on vocational and livelihood training avenues
and support at least 75 dropout youth towards
skill training courses |
|
|
Develop reciprocal relations with the community
through Shikshan-Mittra Ashram Shalas, by
serving as a demonstration and mutual learning
site for the community in at least 70 per
cent (35) schools / villages |
|
|
Engage with the Tribal Development Department
and government authorities, for mainstreaming
the programme and improving reach and effectiveness
of government schemes for higher education. |
