Perpose
During covid when schools and colleges were operating online, these rural students had no access to online teaching, that is when RSB Foundation came forward to help them by providing them online as well as offline coaching [maintaining social distance] for Maths, Science, and English to help them to appear for their board exams that year.
Objective
Initiative The RSB CSR Team did several meetings with Mukhia’s Gram Pradhans, Community teachers, and proactive members of the society to encourage the families to send their children to benefit from the coaching classes. We also did door-to-door campaigns to motivate the students and their parents. Initially, we started with centres at Birbanas Panchayat and BSA School Sundarnagar (Covid-19) where our CSR Representative himself taught these children. We observed that this helped them improve their scores in the board exams and confidence level. As the schools remained shut for a very long time the students’ interest in studies was depreciating. Hence, considering the improvement in students of our coaching classes, the Village Panchayats and Various Govt Schools requested for similar centres to be opened in other locations, therefore, we expanded to another 16 centres. As we expanded, we hired more talented teachers from the community itself to educate these children.
