The purpose of this Cell is to achieve
significant improvement in the quality
of education as a sustained method for
attracting and retaining children in
the schools. SSPA, through the Education
Cell has taken several measures to bring
about this improvement.
While some of the children of the resettled PAFs attended
schools in their old villages, their
attendance was irregular due to the
need to travel long distances. Other
children had, by and large, not attended
schools and would assist their parents
with the daily chores on the fields
and in the house. Since most parents
are illiterate, the Cell had to make
considerable efforts in convincing the
parents of the need to send their children
to the crèche and schools. Regular meetings
were held during the initial resettlement
phase, and it was ensured that children
from each PAF were enrolled and attending
classes. Today, while the parents are
still unable to read and write, they
are keen on supporting the children
in their education and make sure that
they do not skip school.

The
Cell has provided extensive school infrastructure
such as furniture, library books and
mid-day meal kits worth Rs. 60.50 lakhs.
The teaching aids and books have created
considerable enthusiasm amongst the
children for learning. In fact, many
children opt for further education in
the secondary schools at nearby villages
after they complete their primary education
in the R&R sites. The R&R package
also provides for a children’s park
at each site. This park is usually adjacent
to the classrooms, and allows the children
to enjoy their leisure time. |

The
concerned District Panchayats have provided
special grants of Rs. 50,000 to 20 schools.
Over and above, the district panchayats
are providing annual grant of Rs. 5000
towards repairs and Rs. 2000 towards
educational material for each school.
