5. We ‘Felt’:
There are many problems
in the village but we felt
that Girl Child Education
is one of the major
problem in the village.
Very few girls or women
are literate in the villages.

6. We ‘Imagined’:
As this community is
surrounded by the RIICO
industrial area, a great scope is
being developed for the next
generation. If the parents can
be counselled and explained of
the recent professional courses
and technical education for girl
child education, they will be
motivated for these through
campaign and door to door
counselling and will be aware of
Girl Child Education

7. We ‘Did’:
• Organised a meeting with
community people to make
them understand about the
initiative of Satya Bharti
School.
• Organised a rally on Girl
Child Education and
educate community people
about the importance of
education.
• Conducted Street play in
different location of
community.
• Prepare the Slogans &
posters on Girl Child
Education.

8. Impact on Community:
• People understand the importance of professional Education
• They are willing to enroll their children in different technical
Courses which can help them to get good job near to the village
as there are many companies which are looking for competent
candidate from local area.

9. Impact on Us:

• Children feel proud to be a part of this campaign and become change
agents.
• The satya Bahrti Staff members were with positive attitude to take such
initiatives especially in Gurjar Community.
• The Motivation level of Girl Child was very high and put their best effort to
encourage such practices.

kind of campaign in village and protect the Childhood of many children.
