| NFE Centres,Kanya Kumari, Tamil Nadu |
There are ten centres. Each such village centre is run quite successfully with full participation of the local villagers. At each centre, equal stress is given on cultural orientation and value promotion along with providing academic guidance to the children. Many festivals like Christmas, Diwali, Pongal are celebrated, at the same time during Special Day celebrations like Environment Day, Women's Day etc. children from the centre are involved so that they develop social concerns. Many children already go to the nearby schools and come to our centre where the Animator helps them with their studies. The girls always outnumber the boys in terms of admission and attendance. This is a significant achievement since girls in poor families mostly become drop-outs and get no chance of completing their school education. About 300 learners are being covered through this effort. |
