2-3 years back team of Asha Deoria/Kushinagar started 6 Non formal education centers in different places to provide education to children from poor/dalit/tribes families.Due to lack of funds almost all centers closed, but the community need is there. Asha volunteers were also closely involved in a Girls Junior High school run by villagers in Malhani, this center was started 4 years back by some youth of village including Keshav and Ravindra. This school has 3 class rooms and a verandah constructed on land of Gram Sabha, this construction was done by local MLA by his fund. Presently above 200 children are here. Rs.20/- PM fee is in provision but only 30-40% students can pay this. There are 9 classes ( LKG to 8th) and 9 teachers in this school. From the fee teacher are getting 200-300 PM average salary.

Out of 6 NFEs which were closed, now Asha will restart only 3centers, based on need of community and effective monitoring, and in next session 1 or 2 more centers can restart. All 3 centers will now be operated as full time education center with 4-5 hours classes. With these centers Asha will provide partial support to Ramanand Kanya Junior High School also for smooth running as it is serving well. This support includes honorarium of Rs.400/- PM to all teachers, play materials, books for library, Children fare, health camp etc.
