In the years 2003-2004 KARRTABYA with the financial support of IGSSS-NEG was running learning Centers for children. Local interested youths had taken the responsibility to run these centers. Remarkable improvements were achieved.

NCEC is an innovative multiple Education Programme by which each category of people gets benefit from this programme. KARRTABYA is running one NCEC in the remote area of Junagarh Block with the support of Kalahandi Zilla Sakshyarata Samiti since 2003.

The condition of formal education in the working area is very poor. Most villages are located in hilly tracks, which do not have any communication facility. This makes it difficult for most of small children to attend schools. The irregularity of teachers and absence of an educational environment in the school and the village are other causes of the poor status of education in the project region. The situation dose not change in spite of several schemes adopted by the government. The dropout rate due to all these factors is always high. Considering this situation, KARRTABYA has initiated some activities in the operational area for the overall development of the educational scenario.
