Name of the project

“A project to fulfill the essential laboratory needs of 5 high schools and 5 higher secondary schools in remote rural & tribal villages to make teaching and learning easy both for the teachers, as well as for the students”.

Problem Statement :

Science is different from any other subject that a student takes up in school. This discipline unlike other courses affects the lives of each and every person in several ways. From the local weather to the food we eat, and from the simple electronic devices that we use in our day to day lives to the complex machines and systems, science is everywhere. Science involves seeing, handling, understanding and manipulating of real objects and materials.

Outcomes of the project

Increased ability of the teachers in giving students first-hand experiences.
Improved motivation of the teachers to involve students making use of laboratory equipments and make of their teaching interesting for the students;
Children’s learning becomes based on concrete, direct, first-hand experience and not based on abstract thinking.
Involvement of the Parents & Teachers Association in project activities & create a Maintenance Fund to make replacements to laboratory materials.

Sustainability of the project:

Due to this project the target students will pass through 12^th grade public examinations and get qualified for job or to get financial assistance to become self employed.
They will not drop out of the schools and child marriage will be reduced.
As the students are educated the children born to them will get good education.
There is increased employment of videos, models, educational television programs and internet will create and sustain the interest and motivation of the students and these in turn will facilitate easy learning.
Active involvement of the poor Parents & Teachers Association in project activities.

SKILL TRAINING

By R.BALU | DIRECTOR

BOSS NGO in partnership with Local panchayat will be extending Mobile Solar Computer classes in 10 rural areas for 40 poor women beneficiaries . Each villages are based in rural communities of Tiruvannamalai District in India and they lack electricity and a great number of things for proper learning of their pupils. The innovative solar technologies that BOSS NGO utilizes, will enable the pupils of the two schools to be trained in computer skills right at their location.

Challenge

Computer knowledge is very minimal in rural schools due to lack of electricity, skilled man power, good building infrastructures, and poverty, among others. Lack of computers in most of the rural communities makes access to information very expensive for everyone including children in primary schools. The solar mobile computer classes will help to extend cheap and affordable computer training services to not only children but also teachers and other community members especially the youth.

Solution

The computers which will be used for training shall be powered by solar power. The training will be conducted within the selected villages on a weekly basis. The training is mobile in nature and the same equipment shall be used from one village to another without any fear of storage, room, expense to acquire computer and maintaining them, etc. The project will provide skilled man power to conduct the training as well as maintaining the equipment.

Long-Term Impact

The project will reach to about 200 with practical computer skills within a year. About 200 participants will be able to utilize the computers for creating, accessing and sharing news and information. The state of communication and learning will improve greatly in the target communities. Lastly, the participants will be able to enjoy low-cost services that computers can offer as compared to traditional ones.
