  8. Objectives: • Enroll non- school going children in the primary schools and to retain them in the schools till completion of the primary education • Organize the community, civil society organizations, and the local self government institutions for improving the enrolment, retention and achievements of children.

  12. Problems faced • Retention of education volunteers: demand for accommodation, good remuneration and other allowance which we could not afford. • Naxalism : • Combing operations are going on regularly by the police, CRPF etc. If an outsider found in the area in order to enquire they will retain him there for 1 or 2 hours sometimes. So the staff particularly the Coordinator and supervisors are facing such threats. • Malaria : lack of communication : delay in treatment.
