Education for Girls

Seeing the pathetic condition of girl’s education DSVS took initiative to educate girls. Drop out girls and girls studying in our Non-Formal Education centers were brought to DSVS center at Ratanpurwa and were given intensive coaching though long term residential program. These girls were mainly selected from socially and economically deprived backgrounds, namely Tharu, Oraon, Munda and Musahar communities. They were prepared to appear for Matric Examinations though NIOS. They were helped to realize their potentiality through this residential program which provides a conducive environment for education was created and extra-curricular activities, orientation and motivation program. The residential program has been effective in forming these girls to be free, self-confident, motivated leaders to become our associates in upholding and promoting secular and democratic values and scientific outlook.
