EDUCATION PARK
World economy is based on knowledge and skills; technology plays an important role in the development of a nation.
The majority of the population lives in rural areas where they may have access to government education, however due to
limited resources the education is often inadequate. They may not have access to private facilities, or if they do, the costs are prohibitive.
Education Park is a non-profit organization that aims to provide more affordable, quality education and training to K-12
students from rural areas in Madhya Pradesh. This organization is based on three main fundamentals; education, economy and energy.
The education aspect of the project aims to bring the children of poor economic background to the mainstream so that they can compete
with others from urban areas. Education will be improved with specialized training for the teachers and hands on learning for the
children.
The vision of this organization also includes building the infrastructure with emphasis in sustainability and using green
practices such as solar power and recycled materials.
By increasing knowledge and usage of technology, Education Park aims to stimulate
the economy and by doing so increase farmer yields and general productivity. This project hopes to provide education
to students from 25-50 villages.
Our mission in helping this project is to provide educational support and provide enrichment ideas
which would further benefit this program. We have approved a $1,000 grant for Education Park for this year. We hope to be able to
provide more funding to this exceptional organization in future years.
The Khargone district, wherein Bhikangaon is located, comes under tribal belt. It has been declared as one of the most backward district of MP.
The economic situation of the area is not very good. There are people below the poverty line and need support for upliftment.
As indicated earlier in the text that in the Khargone district more than 80% people live in rural area. The agriculture is main source of income.
Most the rural farmers are not rich and lack access to basic facilities like road, electricity, school etc. Because of their poor economic background,
a rural poor does not get access to high quality education, which, in future, ensures that a student born in poor family will remain poor.
Therefore a school that can provide high quality education at an affordable cost in this area is essential.
