KGBV Initiative:



 The Government of India launched a scheme called Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) in August 2004. The purpose is to provide educational facilities for the dropout and never enrolled girl children between the age group 10-14 years belonging to SC/ST/OBC and Minority communities and families below the poverty line in educationally backward blocks.


Introduction of KGBV:
Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya is one such noble initiative in India by the Government of Gujarat state. With the sole objective of removing inequality in education inequality through, Heartfulness Education Trust is supplementing this splendid endeavor of Kasturba Gandhi Balika VIdyalaya by facilitating training to teachers of heart centered education and other skills required to be heartful teacher. Students of K.G.B.V will go through a curriculum of all those values based on nine core human values given by UNESCO, these core values covered into activity student centric curriculum and Heartfulness teachers will be able to nurture these girl children as a role model. Heartfulness education will continue to support for one full academic year, thereby making a visible change in the scenario of education.

Objective:
The objective is tenure access and quality education to the girls of disadvantaged groups of society by setting up residential schools with boarding facilities.

The response / feedback of SSA Office – Government of Gujarat :-
       The response & feedback was very good and encouraging. They were very happy to learn that HFN Institute has started visiting schools and started conducting Meditation Sessions.
       They were so happy that they offered to cover all remaining 160 locations of KGBV having only Hostel facility. However, after giving a good thought on our strength, we decided to include 14 locations of KGBV where only Hostel facility is there. We cannot roll out THW Curriculum at these locations but relaxation for students and meditation for Teachers can be offered.
       Further, two "only Hostel"  type schools are converted into "With Hostel" type from this year. Hence there will be now total 67 KGBV Schools with Hostel Facility.
       Therefore, total 81 locations have been assigned to us by GoG.  67 Schools with Hostel and 14 Only Hostels.

The Road Map Ahead :-
  1. All books for STD 6,7 & 8 in Gujarati Language have been dispatched to KGBV School. As soon as they reach the schools, THW Curriculum will be started in all 67 locations across Gujarat State.
  2. Curriculum Support to KGBV School :-  
       For immediate Help to Teachers :- WhatsApp Group has been created by GoG with all Teachers who are responsible for implementation of THW Curriculum.
       Refresher Course on Quarterly Basis :-  It has been decided to conduct refresher course through BISAG Communication Link.
  1. Hiring of RPs :- List sent to HR team.
  2. Training to RPs :- It will be at Adalaj Ashram, Ahmedabad
