SwaTaleem Foundation (स्वतालीम फाउंडेशन)
www.swataleem.orgVision: We envision India with an interconnected community of KGBV (Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalyas) schools that provide high quality education for a better future of underrepresented adolescent girls. Mission: To increase decision making and foundational skills in underrepresented adolescent girls by enabling a supportive ecosystem of teachers, school officials and parents. Current work: - Introduction of KGBV Program: KGBV program started in 2004 with a vision of providing access of quality education to the girls belonging to unprivileged section (SC, ST, OBC and BPL) of the society predominantly in difficult areas. It provides 75% of seats for girls belonging to SC, ST, OBC or minority communities and priority for the remaining 25% is accorded to girls from families below poverty line. The scheme is being implemented in 27 states/UTs and 3609 KGBVs by Government of India in 460 districts as on 30th June 2014 (MHRD, 2015). Problem: - The teachers and student community of KGBVs exist in isolation with lack of acknowledgement, lack of quality in-service support, minimum expectations from these girls and their voices not being heard are some of the issues which we are trying to work on. Intended solution: - We intend to aim at whole school transformation of these KGBVs primarily focusing on: - - Facilitating creation of thriving communities of KGBV teachers, girls and systemic stakeholders, which could help them transform their school. Education remains as a central transformative tool for the same. - Creating a support system for the KGBVs and it becomes part of their in-service support system - Making their voices heard and getting people together aligned with the cause.
