Instituional Strength

Ever since its inception, educational promotion of the children belonging to most vulnerable communities has received top priority in the agenda of Vikas Bharti Bishunpur. Unlike the educational administrators and planners who advocated framing Right to Education Act, 2009, VIKAS BHARTI BISHUNPUR believes access to education to be one of the prominent rights of children below 14 years of age. VIKAS BHARTI BISHUNPUR has been seriously involved in implementing the Right to Education Act 2009 so as to ensure hundred percent enrolment and retention of children in elementary schools in the state of Jharkhand. With limited financial and manpower resources, the Vikas Bharti Bishunpur has taken special initiatives by the way of imparting education to the children belonging to most weaker sections of society residing in such hard to reach areas where government sponsored education facilities are yet to reach.

Organisational interventions in education is mentioned below :

Formal Schools

Residential Centers (Ashrams)

Innovations in Partnership with State Government

Coaching Centers

Awareness and Sensitization for Education.

Formal Schools

So far, VIKAS BHARTI BISHUNPUR has supported to establish two formal schools in Bishunpur block under Gumla district of Jharkhand. The main motto of setting up these schools was to mainstream the out of school and school drop-out children belonging to the most vulnerable tribal and backward families from hard to reach areas in Gumla district of Jharkhand; and also to provide them quality education. All these schools have provision for teaching from Class-I to Class-X
