young ones.
Project Plan :
The Jalukbari area is mainly inhabited by the tribes namely Tiwa, Rabha, Khasi, Garo, Boro and Mikir. These people are economically backward and most of them are daily wage earners. The tribals are not literate but are enthusiastic to send their children to local school. The local school provides free primary education to children coming from the area in and around Jalukbari. More information about this project can be found here.

Due to paucity of funds this school is not able to provide quality education to the students. The school lacks adequate number of classrooms, doesn’t have basic amenities like toilets or an activity room with teaching apparatus. Needless to say the school does not have a library.
|
Debendra Nath Acharya Charitable Trust is not directly running the school, but has taken up the responsibility in improving school facilities. The successful implementation of this project would have wider implications as many more schools could benefit from the experience. The Trust has already identified couple of more schools in surrounding areas which are also in the same condition.
