VIDYA VIKAS PROJECT

INTRODUCTION OF VIDYA VIKAS PROJECT

There are a number of people socially and economically backward in North Karnataka. Along with this a large number of children have been deprived from Education and Culture. So many people are far away from main stream of society. There is still a situation where children are forced to earn their livelihood, when at their age they should be going to school for studying, writing and playing. Children are illiterate due to poverty and parents are unable to think about future of their children. Some people have continued occupations of their castes. Some children though admitted in schools are not regular to their classes. Seva Bharati Trust is identifying such children and arranging tuitions and imparting culture through Vidya Vikas Project to enable them to complete their school education, to become responsible citizens of this country.


Objectives

  • To educate the children in the slum areas.
  • To give Importance for cleanliness and hygiene.
  • To give moral and spiritual education to children.
  • Reducing the number of children who leave school in the middle.
  • To identify their hidden talent and skill in the children and give proper guidance in developing them.

  • We are planning to open 500 new centers in different places of the state.

     

Our Work
