How we will utilise these books

In this backdrop Sikshasandhan work at different level to enrich government schools in the realm of RTE Act with a mother tongue based primary education approach. As part of this approach educated youths from the community with matriculation/intermediate as the minimum qualification having interest in teaching and working with the community are selected to teach as language teacher in school, who teach up to class three in mother tongue(Ho). Gradually they shift to the mainstream Odia language through different methods and strategies including locally prepared TLMs. These teachers are also been exposed multi-grade and multilingual based training by Sikshasandhan where the thrust is to contextualize the classroom transaction/ pedagogy and bridge the gap between the home and school environment. Also the focus is to gradually expose the tribal children to the mainstream language and text while using the mother tongue based folklore's, songs, stories, riddles etc. These funds will be utilized for giving the joy of owning a book to children from Shikshasadan in Bhubneshwar. 150 Odia books will be given out through this donation campaign.
