Khamgaon is a small town in Buldhana district of Rural Maharashtra, Project targets the underprivileged community in Khamgaon Village, the population is around 8,000.
Asha Mumbai volunteers surveyed Khamgaon in January, 2010. The villagers mainly work in cotton fields and silver business, their earnings are around Rs.60 per day. The economy is controlled by landlords, there is a big socio-economic gap between landlords and workers.
The village has about 100-130 children. Our volunteers observed that in spite of poverty, most of workers wish to educate their children. Village has schooling facility till 7th standard, but the government school lacks in developing relationships with community and it does not motivate children to learn. Also, people need one more earning hand to support their families, this results in children dropping out. Many students who continue education fail due to proper coaching.
There is strong need to give teaching assistance to the students and give moral-economical support for continuing the education. Asha is working to create this motivation and interest by providing tutions and creating learning resources to improve the quality of education.
