  1. MAGJS project Proposal Sriparna Majumdar Asha SF Feb, 2009

  2. Overview • MAGJS = Murschidabad Adibashi Gramin Janakalyan Samity. • Was Founded in 1993 • Aim: “committed to develop, facilitate and implement programs designed towards socio-economic upliftment and sustainablity.” • Focus areas: health, education, environment and income generation initiatives that benefit women, adibashis and other vulnerable sections.

  3. Education Related Activities • Runs 2 schools currently. • Different kinds of programs: Day Care Centre, Non formal education, early child education centre. • Children belong to lower income families, parents are land less casual ‘bidi labourers’ or daily wage earners; age group: 3-6 yrs. • Currently ~ 50 children enrolled. • 4 teachers currently in 2 schools. • Expansion plan: 8 more pre-primary schools in neighboring villages/localities in the Raninagar and Jalangi block of Murshidabad district.

  4. Proposal $29415.95 For first year

  5. Major Questions • Who coordinates the whole program across various states? • Balwadis/elementary schools exist nearby but “services provided in those schools regarding food and education are not satisfactory” ?? What’s the gap? • How does “non formal syllabus” help students get enrolled in mainstream schools? • Need more details on current funding sources (financial report missing).. Who are the “corporate sponsors”? • Site visit report very minimal and has some inconsistencies – focuses on one school, need more on the people running the org, 2 teachers/1 absent, age group 5-9 or 4-6?, etc. • Empowering local community towards self sustenance – need more detail • Not able to get a read on what the impact is/has been – need some success stories or “data”

  6. MAGJS: UPDATES • The creche schools run for 8 hours (10 am to 4 pm). Work as full time day care unit for working parents. • They have received Rs. 50,000 for their two existing schools this year from a state government funding agency. • 175 students have passed till now and 143 has got admission in local primary schools. • Currently, an ASHA volunteer is on the task of doing the site visit.
