On 3rd May under the banner of ‘Shale
Kade’ Nanna Nade (My journey towards school) with the alliance of
likeminded NGOs of the Raichur District and Government Education
officers namely DDPI, CEO, CDPO and women and child protection and
child right officer and also child welfare officers were present for
the one day workshop was held at Girls PU Collage, Raichur. Thus
Vimukti created a platform in order to bring all the concerned
District authority people to this programme. After the official
inauguration of the workshop, Vimukti presented the in-depth study
survey report of those children who were staying out of school in
the entire taluka of manvi. It was a hard reality to accept that
more than 4950 children were not attending school in the manvi
taluka itself, leaving rest of the talukas of the District. It was
evident that though the children were not attending the school, it
was being shown in the records that they were attending schools in
order to indicate that the number of children absent in the school
were minimum.
Even other NGOs opinions were similar that despite of several
schemes and opportunities being given by the government for the
education, the number of children staying out of school was
comparingly high in the district. During interaction many raised
their issues in this regard and down to the earth suggestions were
given in order to decrease the number of child dropouts, child
marriages, child labour in order to bring all the children to
school. Nearly 85 beneficiaries attended and benefited from the
workshop.
