QUALITY EDUCATION:
In a novel initiative to improve education standards of tribal children, Sevalaya proposes to set up education resource centres in tribal villages. The centres will be equipped with smartboards, internet facility, audio-visual equipment, books and so on to bring them up-to-date with modern education. The education resource centres would also act as a multipurpose centre where a number of educational and awareness activities would be taken up to empower the students and the communities. Instead of expecting children to move out of their villages and tribes, we reach them and respect their space and culture. The children are provided with quality education completely free of cost
