Overview
Educational School Development
Education
Children staying in Keertika homes and staying with families are enrolled in mainstream schools affiliated with the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) and West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE). The girls have been enrolled in local schools and medium of learning has been chosen as per their learning level and capability. Supplementary support is provided to the girls by private tutors to ensure their retention in school. Girls with learning difficulties are supported by a special educator to bridge their gap and improve their scholastic ability with the help of special education using tools, audio visual class, participatory sessions etc. The progress of the girls’ academic performance is reviewed and monitored in every quarter and lesson plans are developed accordingly.
VocationalTraining
Beyond immediate economic benefits, vocational training contributes to breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty. By empowering these children with skills that are in demand, we enable them to secure stable employment and in turn, provide a foundation for future generations to thrive.
Behala Keertika empowers girls through jewellery-making and tailoring training, equipping them with valuable skills for self-reliance and future employment.
Health & Nutrition Support:
The focus is always given on maintaining the health of each child. The girls are provided with a healthy nutritious diet, quarterly weight and height assessments, health check-ups (including eye and dental) etc to identify the developmental gaps and provide care accordingly.
