The goal of this organization is to reach each individual sector/village panchayat within Jharkhand and raise public awareness, promote education, inculcate civic sense and hygiene, improve living conditions, and aid in agriculture development. With this in mind, in 1994, in those villages of Kurkuta panchayat, where schools do not exist, pre-school education for children has been initiated. This carried on for few months, after which public awareness programmes were conducted. The people in the district desired to have a school in their vicinity, which would enable children from the neighboring villages to study. With concent of the district administration and the desire of the people the organization obtained permission to start a school in 1999. At present, about 300 boys and girls attend this school from pre-school to junior high.
Summary of Organization
The volunteer organization ROPA, seeks to reduce the inadequacies in various problems faced by the people of the district, through the foundation of education. With the involvement of the local people, a school was started. In this, the effort of education proponent Muchiram Yadav was very important and commendable. Muchiram’s coordination effort brought support of local people, and today with the strength of peoples' efforts a school stands on the soil of the people. Within 18 months, in a Panchayat district of 4000 people, 300 children have started their education. ROPA, on this foundation, is slowly but surely bringing about general awareness amongst the people. We hope that within five years, all the children in the district will join school.
