In such a situation, PVCHR received a fund from Sir Dorabji Tata Trust,
Mumbai to impart elementary education to the children of
disadvantaged groups, who are living in urban slums or villages in
Varanasi district under the project ‘ “Quality Education to Dalits,
Backward and Minority children”.
It was realized that the biggest problem before the project to succeed
is to motivate the children to attend the Center regularly and reduce
the drop out level to minimum. Majority of the children in the project
are first time school goer. Their parents feel that helping in their
weaving work is more essential for their children than to wasting their
time at the school.
(ii) Better discipline: Children have learnt how to sit in lines and take
part in disciplined way into other social and cultural activities and
learning process at the Center.
As far as the children at the Center is concerned, they come from very
poor economic, social and educational background and need very
special and personalized teaching facilities. For this purpose, at the
Center at least there should be two more trained teachers/activists to
imparting elementary education properly and satisfactorily.
Though under the project few children have been receiving tuition and
some other necessary facilities at the Center but there is large majority
of the children belonging to different age groups still deprived of their
schooling in the locality.
As it has already been mentioned that there is no government school
in the locality, there is an urgent need of initiating two fold campaign
invoking the provisions of Right to Information Act, 2009 to open
government primary schools in the locality so that the right of
elementary education to the children in the locality could be
guaranteed.
For this purpose, the project can also resort to legal course and file a
PIL in the High Court in pursuance of the Right to Education Act, 2009.

part in disciplined way into other social and cultural activities and
