Success Story- 2 ‘Udaan’ – a campaign to ensure that all girls in Chittorgarh are enrolled in schools by June 2018.

-


In January 2017, the administration of Chittorgarh launched ‘Udaan’ – a campaign to ensure that all girls in the district are enrolled in schools by June 2018.

Under the campaign, a door-to-door survey of girls in the district was conducted at the village level, and a database was prepared to connect them with education.

The primary objective of Udaan is to provide quality education it is so much more than that. With this they are empowering girls with the ability to take decisions on their own, creating awareness about the world around them, and instilling confidence in them.

The four activities that Udaan work on are:

1. Real functional toilet


Many of girls drop out because the schools do not have proper toilets. Udaan worked on ensuring that every toilet in the district has functional toilets that are well-maintained.

2. Clean and well-maintained school building


One of the first things that everyone notice about a school is the building. It was important for the team working on this project to ensure that school walls were whitewashed once every six months, and maintained in a clean manner, thus attracting students to come and spend time in them.

3. Welcome signs outside schools


While this sounds like a small thing, it gave students a sense of ownership towards the school. Each school was given a signage board on which a welcome note was written for the students.

4. Installed full-length body mirrors in all schools


What this full-length mirror did for the students is remarkable. It created in them a desire to groom themselves and view themselves in a completely different light.
With some of them never even having looked into a mirror, it was difficult to set a point of reference. Seeing some of the others well turned out pushed them as well.

These four activities helped team Udaan for what they wish to achieve with these children.

You can also take such initiatives and help the children for their betterment.
