Promotion of Education

Establishment Of Schools:

CRCDC aim is to establish schools in the villages where there are no schools and to collaborate with Government’s education and literacy programme. These schools follow the state’s education policy and curriculum. Deserving children of our schools are educated either by giving concession or free education. Neighborhood students are given preferences wherever our schools are established. There are feeder primary schools in the remote villages, from where students are brought to established high schools for middle and high school education. The fees charged from the students are very affordable and minimal, just for the payment of the Teachers, and minimal expenditures of the school. Since school buildings are constructed by the help of generous benefactors, the burden of the cost of establishment is not put on students.
