Due to child-hood marriage at the age of 13 years, I couldnot complete my high school formal education. But by self reading, now I am competent to any graduate student. I have strong desire for girls education and to make women become an earning member in the family otherwise they do not get any recognition and value. |

we are curious to inform you that, this year 22 girls appeared in 10th Board exam. out of 22, 11 got A Grade, 7 got B Grade and 3 got C Grade. unfortunately one girl could not pass the exam. All the villagers are very excited with the result and the Parents are also proud of their girls. This has greatly change the way people used to think about Girls education and now other families which earlier were very reluctant to Girls Education are also willing to enroll their girl to school.

We are very happy to share the case study of, Mrs. Phulmati Devi, a resident of Hazaribag dist of Jharkhand , India. There are 8 members in her family including his husband who works as a daily labourer.Her family income was Rs.3000 (66USD) and it was very difficult for her to sustain the family needs in this amount. She took a loan of Rs.10,000 and purchased 2 cows and started selling Milk. now after 6 months, She has 4 cows and her monthly income is Rs. 16,500(366USD) Now her children are studying in private school in Class V and VI.
Earlier she use to be very quite due to scarcity of money but now she dont stop smiling.

We are also happy to share that, a total of 39 girl students have successfully completed education till matriculation (10th Class). Watching the progress in girls other parents are now not opposing for girl's education and now we do not have to work much in convincing parents to send their girl child to school considering the input we gave in earlier days of project, where we had to go door to door for 10-15 days regularly to convince parent for sending their girl child to schools.
