To improve the educational status of Tribal children and dalit girls. Profile

Education is most vital key to ending extreme poverty. Free primary education is constitutionally mandated in India. This may be true in the narrow sense that public schools do not charge for tuition. But the real cost of schooling for parents turns out to be quite high. These “hidden” costs include for instance, school Fees, Fees for cloths, textbooks, snacks, sports equipment and so on. The pressure of assuming these financial burdens while losing a potential helping hand at home or another household income (Some form of child labour is common in our parts) often proves to be more than poor families can bear. In addition the poor quality of primary schooling eliminates any incentive the family may have to send their children to school.
If parents are discouraged from sending their children to school, it is because they feel that schooling is often a waste of time and money.
Children who lost their education or lagging behind (Potential Dropout), older children frequently miss school during the harvest season because they are needed to help their families and take part in important communal celebrations, students who do not attend school during these times find it difficult to make up the lost class work and eventually drop out. But they can be compensated by the way of providing new opportunities to learn, they included dropouts and underachievers in schools. Through this programme the dropout children are provided with special attention and the problems of dropouts would be minimized in schools as well as slow learners would get opportunity to improve their learning skills
The beneficiaries of the project will include Tribal Children and dalit girls from Kancheepuram District, who are in the age group of 5-18 which are living in tribal hamlets in lower Appur hills, slums, dalit colonies, who are suffering from poverty, who are with physical disabilities, who are the victims of domestic or other violence, who are semi orphans, who have been rejected or neglected by parents, and who have unstable families or come from families with crisis.

The expected outputs are 200 Tribal children and dalit girls supported in education and their families supported economically.
Problem Statement and the Target area:
In India education is still a distant dream for millions of children’s and in our area too. Our target area Kancheepuram District comes under the Tamilnadu state. In this district, majority of the people depend agriculture and agricultural occupation for their income. But India’s agriculture dependence on rains too much. In the absence of adequate irrigation facilities, as much as 70% of the cultivation in our area looks to rains for water supply. But rain’s in India are inadequate, uncertain and irregular. So this makes agriculture an uncertain occupation. So rains keep our target district drought for a decade. People don’t have other opportunities and they suffer a lot with their big families. So in natural, education to these community has remained beyond the reach of their children. Poverty, family illiteracy, lack of resources and social backwardness are the major contributing factors. In, India, in our area nothing has been done for the improvement and upliftment of the poor Community. So majority of the people in our target area are backward in socially, educationally and economically. So our area people are living in most miserable conditions devoid of essential facilities of life especially they don’t have much education due to the absence of any support system.
So, our target area’s illiterate, poverty ridden Tribal and rural dalit poor parents do not wish to educate their children, because they think that investment in education for their children is considered mere waste of time and resources and most worry some is girls education. The reasons are:-
 Many rural house hold need the income the child earns as domestic helpers from the jobs provided by small village industries and agriculture.
 Children’s do sometimes abandon their studies as a result of their own disinterest, illness or failure in examination.
 Education on girl child is seems as a bad investment, as she is bound to marry and leave home one day to live with her husbands family. This is a mindset of our area Tribal and rural dalit people.
 People in our target area saying that – We don’t educate girls in our community.
 Parents are reluctant to send their girls to schools outside the village for fear of violence or some social ill will befall them.
 Parents illiteracy, domestic labour, helping parents in their occupation, care and sibilings, social taboos on the onset of puberty, sex discrimination from parents are the main factors of school dropouts and that of female illiteracy.
 Due to poverty and backwardness, children are deprived of basic education. Children’s at a very young age start helping their parents at works i.e Their time is spent in rearing the domestic animals, domestic work, catering to younger sibilings, agriculture coolie work etc., and therefore, prove to be assets for their family. So parents do not mind if their children did not attend the school regularly. So school dropout is on rise.
Due to all these reasons they are unceremoniously denied the opportunity to get the basic knowledge and literacy skills. Majority of our area Tribal and dalit children were in out of schools or working/helping their parents in coffee plantations/agrifield. So we wish to give education through support system, so as to remove/solve the existing problems.
Expected output:
The long-term output:
 The educational status of poor Tribal children and dalit girls improved.
Short term inputs:
 200 poor Tribal children and dalit girls supported in education
 The awareness of the community to support poor tribal children and dalit girls increased.
 10 girls club and 10 Tribal children club formed.
