The project aims to provide good quality primary education to chidren of the tribal and the Dalit , sections of the population. The education project, under the universalisation of education was started in 1979 with the establishment of 16 schools. Government schools replaced all but 8 schools started by Prayas, and the Schools run by Prayas continued to run in the periphery of the Chittorgargh and Devgrah districts.
The pedagogy would aim towards that learning needs are integrated fully with socialization of the child in family and community besides enhancement in literary skills. Villages of project area are located in scheduled tribal sub plan block Pratapgarh of Chittorgarh Dt. in Rajasthan. After completion of primary education, all children will be encouraged to pursue higher education. If required, monetary support for higher education will be mobilized from government schemes.
The education system after its re-establishment of 6 schools, continues to perform its tasks. Due to popular pressure and help from the community, a 7th school was added to list, a new one for the Gothada village, serving another 20 enthusiastic students.
One of the direct outcomes of this project has been the reduced incidences of girl child marriages, due to improved literacy and education
