In Murshidabad and Kumirmari we continue to provide remedial classes to nearly 2,200 schoolchildren to promote equal opportunities for children in these disadvantaged rural areas. Kumirmari students also receive food supplements
The classes aim to improve the skills of primary school children in reading, writing and mathematics, applying pedagogical methods that help their learning. In this way, they have a better chance of remaining linked to public school for longer and with better academic, social and work expectations. Therefore, we periodically meet with the tutors who participate in this program to monitor the progress of the students and address needs identified by the teachers.
Durga Puja
This past October, from the 20th to the 24th, one of the most important festivals in the area was celebrated, Durga Puja, which celebrates the victory of good over evil, the triumph of the goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura. In West Bengal, preparations for Durga Puja begin months before, with the construction of elaborate and unique altars and representations of the goddess Durga. On the last day of the festival, they take out a procession and immerse themselves in the water symbolizing the return of the goddess Durga to her abode in the Himalayas.
