Langalberia Girls High School is built in the middle of Langalberia anchal,(comprised of 14 villages)in 24 Parganas(S)in West Bengal.As there was no girls� high school in this Anchal, some local villagers started a morning section(for girls) at the premises of Langalberia Surath Smriti Vidyamandir(for boys)in 1994.18 Kathas of land was donated by Mr. Jyotirmoy Ghosh.Donations from the villagers were used to construct a separate school building for the girls, as well as provide them with furniture, books and pay the salary of 12 staff members.
This is a secondary school. The principal aim of the organisation is to educate ~600 poor,low caste girls in the age group 9-16.Many of these girls are drop-outs from the government schools.They have been taking regular classes and examinations including Work Education.Since the school is not government-affliated, the girls cannot take the Secondary(Madhyamik)Examination from the school itself; instead arrangements have been made so that they attend classes here but give the exam as students of other goverment schools in Calcutta city(Jadavpur Vidyapith).In the last year,there was a pass rate of ~ 75% in this exam.The authorities are open to inclusion of suitable vocational training,workshops etc.
