at Janarth Sakhar Shalas, state curriculum is followed in a full time school pattern to prevent children from dropping out and joining the labour force at 7-8 years of age. In some places, sugar factory owners have begun getting involved in our work and have come forward to provide permanent infrastructural facilities for our schools. Workers in turn also ask contractors for locations with school presence. The challenges are to secure state funding for the program and expansion of the infrastructure and curriculum to higher grades.
