Asha with BISWA's help started non formal education centers in four villages (Jhankarbahali, Rathipada, Budapada & Tangarjuri) near Sambalpur town in western Orissa. These villages have seen little developmental activity until now. This project was initiated by Mrs. Ranu Mahanti, a resident of East Lansing, MI during her stay in that area between Jan-Mar 2003.
