Theme for our coming Issue
Through JF’s effort and conceptualization of the sharing of wealth to effect social justice for the weakest sections, whole communities are emerging as self-sustaining, showing themselves to be capable of planning and implementing their own future through self governance and even self financing. They have realized that poverty is not just economic; it is intellectual, cultural, social and related to justice. Today, they have risen; the SHGs are more prominent, proving themselves functionally successful in income generation, livelihood systems, education and agriculture. JF SHGs are conceived as major contributor to all aspects of living beyond finance. Is HIV/AIDS merely a Medical Concern?

STORIES OF CHANGE
Mainstreaming Non Formal Education to the formal education system for Sustainability

THANKS TO

OUR PARTNERS

The education programme of JF was initiated since August, 2000 and till date efforts are being geared up on an increasing parameter to educate the children of the marginalized tribal and poor of the under served settlements and bring them to the formal education set up. For this the “Janaki Vidyalaya” were set up at villages Sridharpur, Reghadih and Santhaldih at Block Gamaharia of the District Saraikela Kharsawan in the state of Jharkhand. This was in the form of Non-formal set up where quality primary education is being forwarded to more than 300 children of age 03 to 06 years. They are children of the needy, marginalized, poor and daily wage earners/laborers of heavy and small-scale industries.

The thought was also there that unless the non-formal set up is integrated into the mainstream education system, the capacity-building interventions will not attract the support that is required for its quality implementation. The promotion of basic education to vulnerable children who can get into regular schools was thus viewed from broader context of efforts to reduce illiteracy, poverty, disease thereby promoting community development program of micro finance and micro enterprise development and on issues of health and cleanliness.

As part of phasing out process, the Janaki Gram Shiksha Samiti has been formed to empower communities so that they take up issues related to quality functioning of the schools as well as facilitate them take onus on issues related to health and education for a sustainable integrated development. F further is gearing ahead to set up institutions of learning in the respective villages in the form of a library. The effort is seen in the light of providing an all round education support to the people.
