Our Journey And Impact Map
The Origin 2019
The Origin | 2019
Since I’m from those tribal hamlets, I had the privilege and their trust to speak with them directly, which allowed me to fully comprehend their perspectives and worries. It was discovered that in order for children and parents to attend school consistently, they need motivation.
Parents believe that even if their child attends college, they won’t be able to compete in the workforce and will eventually need to return to the forest, so why not start working in the forest now? This belief stems from their observations of other graduates in the communities

Collaborating with the school to improve the support’s effectiveness and gain a deeper understanding of the needs
Finding the oldest and greatest institution with the same mission of aiding the tribes proved bit difficult, but Vidya Rohini stands out as the only school with over 20+ years of experience doing just that.
The unique benefit of having a mix of tribal and non-tribal children is that it can speed up the development of tribal children in a number of ways.
