A large number of children are still outside the fold of elementary and early childhood education. There is a wide gap in children’s access to learning facilities in terms of gender, caste, class, ethnicity, and religion. Retention & drop outs, meaningful school participation, learning by children, primarily from the weaker and disadvantaged sections of society, especially the tribal, remains an issue of serious concern.

In this context, CYSD’s special attention remained to make education accessible, ensuring holistic and quality education to all children at pre-school, elementary and secondary levels. The objectives of programme are to: intervention

  • Promote quality learning in preschools for all children in 3-6 years of age
  • Promote quality learning in schools for all children, especially girls in Class-I to X.
  • Promote mother-tongue based learning
  • Development of locally relevant learning resources
  • Strengthening community oversight of education facilities
  • Capacity building of community mechanism on Early Child Education oversight
