Coal India extended financial support to Ekal Vidyalayas in Jharkhand

Kolkata: Coal India Limited (CIL) in a new CSR initiative has extended financial support of Rs. 22 Lakhs for the functioning of 100 Ekal Vidyalayas in Jharkhand. This unique concept of non-formal primary schooling is where one teacher, usually from the same village, teaches 25 to 30 students in the open and does not need any fixed infrastructure or building.

 

Once a Vidyalaya is established in a village, the Gram Samiti takes the responsibility to monitor and support its activities. This brings in the involvement of the village community.

 

The Ekal Vidyalayas are located in the aspirational districts of Narayanpur in Bastar-Chhattisgarh and Simdega, East Singhbhum & West Singhbhum in Jharkhand.
