SAI BAL SANSAR

There are a large number of people who are too poor to think about providing education to their children. Hence, their children grow up without getting any kind of education. Another issue besides poverty is the age factor which does not allow the children to attain admission in formal schools (under scholarship programs), as many of them have never attended school. In this situation, the Informal institutions are required to help children attain a level of literacy/knowledge that will make them suitable enough to join mainstream schools in age-appropriate classes.

Sai Bal Sansar provides these children a free education where literacy is provided irrespective of their age, caste, and creed. We also give them mid-day meals to attract more children who left school to work somewhere for food.

Education supplies are also given to the children that are mostly out of the donations in kind received by the NGO.

When the child gets admitted to Sai Bal Sansar irrespective of his/her age, we assess his/her knowledge by conducting interviews. With regular tests and observation by the teachers, the student is promoted to higher classes. They get education in our centre until they attain the knowledge required for admission into a formal school.

The following activities are conducted at our center:

•Teaching the students from nursery to primary classes.

•Those students who are found to be slow learners are shifted to Sai Vatsalya Vatika where special attention is paid to them.

•Providing mid-day meals

•Doing extra-curricular activities like dancing, singing, art and craft.

•Celebrations on the occasion of Republic day, Independence Day, Annual Sports Day, Teacher’s Day, Children’s Day, Christmas. etc.

There are around 180 children of labourers and slum-dwellers around the village Agahpur in sector 41, Noida studying in Sai Bal Sansar.

The children who passed out earlier have secured suitable jobs according to their education level. Every year, around ten students get admitted in formal schools.
