School and Boarding

The school and boarding for adivasi children ensure that students from the surrounding villages have access to quality education and can go on to build stable careers. Besides their studies, the children develop their personalities and interact with people from various fields. They also have plenty of opportunities to play, sing, dance and enjoy their childhood to the fullest.At present, the school has a total of 375 students. Of these, 210 are coming from the boys boarding which is run by the Salesian fathers, 104 are from the girls’ boarding run by the sisters, and 61 are day scholars. There are 9 teachers and 2 boarding masters. Special achievement done by the Under 14 football team is by becoming state champions and participating in Under 14 Subroto Cup in Delhi. Education in the school too has improved this year by once again getting 100% SSC results.

Community Organization

At present, the Kawant centre is moving towards a more people-centred approach by encouraging them to come together to address their most immediate needs; water, roads, education and employment. The key to all of these is the correct functioning of the local self government. The SHGs, (Self Help Groups) therefore, are now functioning as the starting point to preparing the community to claim their rights. They are leading their villages in preparing for and participating in their Gram Sabhas to plan development works in their village. They are also involved in understanding and demanding the implementation of the NREGA (National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme). The Governance Project initiated by the DBDS, is moving in the right direction of empowering tribal people.
