EDUCATION



Agragamee began a programme of education with funding from the Ministry of Human Resources in the year 1988 from hundred and fifty schools in Kashipur, and other selected tribal districts of Orissa, the programme has now expanded to cover 208 schools in seven districts of Orissa.
 

In the last 14 years of Agragamee's intervention for primary education in tribal areas, several innovations have been taken up, several new paths have been explored. The mixed bag of results has taught us much. The most rewarding feedback has perhaps been in positive response of the people and children to the programme in general. Much more than our calls for contribution and participation, people have come forward in their own ways and ensured that night schools ran well.


Children have taken up the several challenges with much spirit and the time spent in the schools has given them much confidence. This more than anything else has assured us that we are on the right path. Agragamee perceives the real growth to be in qualitative terms, rather than in terms of quantity.
   
Agragamee's model of primary education is now being replicated by different organisations. This has led to a marked increase in the demand for better, more efficient functioning of formal education, and an improvement in self-image in the villages, where the schools have been running for some years.
