Members People Action for Development (PAD) has been
constantly trying to empower the Adivasis of Ananda
T.E. and other Tea Garden through formation of Self
help Group, organizing them for Panchayati Raj
Institution, PDS, NEREGA etc. It was difficult
because of illiteracy in Adivasi society of the Tea
gardens. The isolated life of tea garden slavery for
last 200year has made the Adivasi society hopeless. They have lost their culture language and history. Poverty and sickness hinder the Adivasi children from
going to school. The Adivasi labours have very few
time to look after their children for which children
drop out from the school. The Labour Schools are Non
functional After Two years of continuous long discussion and analysis PAD decided to start a school. Where extra care for the Adivasi children is taken. ST. DON BOSCO SCHOOL run by local community
through a governing body and local contribution and
donation are the primary fund for running the school
at the early stage. It is very encouraging that the
School is functioning well and children are coming in
large number to the school.
If
this School is successful PAD will start series of
school for the Adivasis and other weaker community
children who really need education Support.
