2. INTRODUCTION

to underprivileged children in rural India.
• The Foundation aims to help underprivileged children and young people of our country realize their
potential.
Satya Bharti School Program
The Satya Bharti School Program is the flagship program of Bharti Foundation.
It aims to deliver free quality education to underprivileged children, with special focus
on the girl child across rural India.
Present Operational Status:
• Number of Schools Operational: 254

W. Bengal, Tamil Nadu

3. ABOUT THE VILLAGE
• Geographical Location: Situated on Malerkotla road (link road) Amritsar – Ambala
Highway. Rauni is a village backward in many respects. Rauni is itself a Gram
Panchayat, Block Payal, District Ludhiana. The majority of population is of Farmers
and sc.
Role of Satya Bharti Adarsh School in the Village: Govt. Satya Bharti Adarsh Sen.
Sec. School Rauni took the challenge to reform the rotten culture of the society.
There were many challenges but we faced it. Through our community development
campaigns, we lighted the candle of awareness and tried to change the believes of
the people.
• Participation in ‘Design for Change’ School Contest: When the students came to
know about they are going to conduct such a campaign with a vision of spreading the
awareness . They put all their efforts to make the program successful. They enlisted
the existing problems of the area and then decided that they will work for the
upliftment of such children who are not anyhow able to come to school due to their
family problems.
4. INSPIRATION
CASE STUDY 1:
We found during our survey of village that a girl Kiranjit kaur D/o S. Gurdev singh . Was a girl who
had withdrawal her name from school due to corporal punishment given in the school she was
studying. She was having problem in her ear due to the same and now she was at home. We
took the challenge to teach such child. We made her comfortable in all aspects but failed to
detain her because in her break period she was doing labor in some zamindar,s house and she
did not want to leave the job. We tried by all means but could not succeed because her parents
don't let her understand the importance of education.
CASE STUDY 2:
We found a child Vicky S/o Raju Kumar who had never gone to school earlier. We found that he
was working in a sweet shop. We put all our efforts to bring him up. We give him admission in
class 4th. He was not able to read and write . We taught him from basic. He was doing wonderful
job as his learning level was increasing day by day. But suddenly he stopped coming to school.
We contacted and enquired that he was to work for his family as their income was almost
negligible.
This is the only situations we faced. We always see children doing job in dhabas, tea stalls. We feel
guilty but are unable to do anything for them as one person cannot make the change. But on
the other hand united we can make the impossible possible.
5. PHILOSOPHY BEHIND IT
The idea how such delicate part of the
society is being crushed under the
cruel and sharp wheels of time
made us worried for the future of
country.
It is the society and moreover a school
program who must work for the UNCARED FLOWER
improvement of wrong practice
which is being implemented in the
society.
We equate them as a flower who is not
getting light and water.
And the plant who is getting salt in
spite of water and polythene cover
in spite of air.
UNCARED PLANT
6. REALLITY
Adding to our case study, there are
approximately thousands of children who do
work for the family in one way or another in
our village and adjoining area.
Boys work in shops, whereas girls work in
kothies as maid. Some children work as rag
pickers, whereas some do acrobatics.
A person from the community admitted that CHILD PERFORMING
these children do not get enough salary also. ACROBATICS
They don't get the full salary also as they are
illiterate. Children who live at their work
place are the most sufferers as their working
time is not fixed.
It has been printed in the newspapers time to
time, but we found few in records. People
are clever enough to hide the actual age of
the child. They play actually with the law
and legislation
CHILD LABOR IN NEWS
PAPERS
7. ABOUT THE LAW
• Child labor has been declared as a crime under
legislation no. 29 in year 1986 and declared that
The child who is doing labor and is under 14 years
is illegal.
• National child project was made in year 1988
which was reformed in year 2001 in which Rs 250
are given to such children as stipend which seems
to be practically insufficient for a child to do
labor.
9. TAYARI JEET KI
STEP1.
We organize a planning
committee which made the
action plan.
STEP 2.
Members of Group fox did their
survey in the society to know
about the children who are
engaged in such type of work.
They move in the market ,
contacted aanganwari workers
to collect the data.
STUDENTS PLANNING FOR
PROGRAM
10. PLAN IN ACTION
STEP 3.
Group bees organize a rally
–cum-chetna march to
aware the society about
the negligence of such
children. Children
projected their idea
through speech and
poem. They sang slogans
and pasted the same on
the walls of main places
during the campaign.
11. PLAN IN ACTION
STEP 4.
GROUP monkeys managed
to contact the people of
the society to switch up
with the project. They
were told the mission of
the project. People take it
positively. They united
and took oath to help
such children with their
body, soul and money.
12. PLAN IN ACTION
STEP 5.
GROUP pigeons plan to write
letter to President of INDIA,
labor minister, labor inspector
of the area and the village
sarpanch to think about
miserable condition of
childhood in India.
• We plan to join NGOs of local
community in our mission. So
that more and more attention
must be paid to such children.
13. HINDERANCES
We face non-cooperation from the society.
As they were aware of the law they opposed
and spoke harsh words to the students who
were making effort to know about the child
laborers. They didn’t gave right information
about the age and status of their children.
They were wrongly admitting that their
ward is going to school.
14. IMPACT ON COMMUNITY
The people of general community
promised us to support and put
our thought/plan in front of the
elders of the villagers.
NEWS IN DAINIK
JAGRAN
Some people made a ‘BAGHBAN’
committee who promised to work
for such children.
A prestigious news paper took our
efforts in its notice and published
it.
COMPLIMENTS FROM
COMMUNITY
Simultaneously we got MEMBERS
complimentary letter from wise
group of the society.
15. EXPERIENCE SHARED BY MEMBERS OF
COMMUNITY AND OUR TEAM
• Mr. Arun chharia (A Social Reformer and secretary of Bharat Vikas Parishad)–
It is good attempt made by the students . It will help in eradication of social evils as well as
will inculcate feeling of right and wrong in the children.
• S. Jagdev Singh (community member and President of Project Baghban) –
The efforts done by little angels had made our heart full of gladness and proud. We are
happy that future of our children is in safe hands.
• Mr. Parvesh Kumar (Vice-Principal ):
“EVEN A JOURNEY OF 10,000 MILES STARTS WITH A STEP”
India is sadly the home to the largest number of child labourers in the world. So our efforts
are in the right direction to eradicate this social evil.Out of School children comprise the
workers & non workers.In one view they together signify a measure of deprivation among
children and can be consider as a labourpool always being at the risk of entering the
labourforce.
• Staff:
It is a matter of concern that the hideous crime like child labor is still in the society and its
roots are spreading day and night. The most amazing fact is that the so called
sophisticated society is performing its main role in hiring the children as laborers. So such
kind of efforts should be made in the society.
16. THE SHOW MUST GO ON……
• We will take the regular feedback of society by its representative i.e.
‘sarpanch’ and other community members and will ensure that such
children must get the right platform for their growth.
• Efforts will put to solve migrated child because they don’t have their
home also and they are forced to live at their work place.
• We will maintain regular patch up with the local NGOs. So that the
ignited candle could not get extinguished.
• We will boost our BAGHBANs by honoring them in our school
celebration. So that they could take it globally and more number of
children should be benefited from this committee.

• Vice-Principal and staff
