The objective of this project is the education of the children of the Pawra/Bhil tribe in Dhule district, Maharashtra. Due to the isolation of the region, there are no functional government schools for the children to attend, thus the need for the 25 schools run under this project. In addition, the Vishwamandal Sevashram undertakes various other development projects such as watershed development, organic farming, and medical training among others, and has a long history of developmental work in the area. Asha Zurich will provide partial funding for the project for a minimum of one year.
