Pankhudi Paathshala - अपने सपनों की उड़ान !
- It is
an innovative initiative taken by North – West District Administration of
Delhi with a golden dream of educating and empowering dropout girls.
- The Paathshalas have been set
in their nearby aanganwadi centres.
- Pankhudi Paathshalas is a
channel to enrol eligible ones into formal or informal education system
and impart education to other girls in these Paathshalas itself.
- Basic
lessons of Hindi, English, Mathematics and General Knowledge are taught in
these paathshalas.
- Nearly 80 Pankhudi
Paathshalas have been set up till now with a target of 130+ Paathshalas in
near future.
- Pankhudi
Paathshalas have been and will continue to work for precious smiles on
these innocent faces.
How Paathshala works –
- The structure of Paathshalas
is based on mainly two words i.e. Batch and Shell.
- Batch is a group of 4 to 5
nearby aaganwadi centers in a particular area.
- Shell is the main and the
centremost aaganwadi center amongst the batch of 4-5 aaganwadis where
Pankhudi Paathshala is opened.
- Paathshalas run between 2
p.m. to 4 p.m. to suit the girl’s work routine.
For Aadhar camps –
- Documentation Problem like
unavailability of Aadhar Cards or any other proof were solved by
conducting Aadhar camps at different areas.
For counselling sessions –
- Orthodoxical thinking of
parents regarding the importance of girl child education was solved
through regular counselling sessions and awareness camps.
