Major Questions
• Who coordinates the whole program across various states?
• Balwadis/elementary schools exist nearby but “services provided in those
schools regarding food and education are not satisfactory” ?? What’s the
gap?
• How does “non formal syllabus” help students get enrolled in mainstream
schools?
• Need more details on current funding sources (financial report missing)..
Who are the “corporate sponsors”?
• Site visit report very minimal and has some inconsistencies – focuses on
one school, need more on the people running the org, 2 teachers/1
absent, age group 5-9 or 4-6?, etc.
• Empowering local community towards self sustenance – need more detail
• Not able to get a read on what the impact is/has been – need some
success stories or “data”
MAGJS: UPDATES
• The creche schools run for 8 hours (10 am to 4 pm).
Work as full time day care unit for working parents.
• They have received Rs. 50,000 for their two existing
schools this year from a state government funding
agency.
• 175 students have passed till now and 143 has got
admission in local primary schools.
• Currently, an ASHA volunteer is on the task of doing
the site visit.
