This year 500 people came at Sewa Kunj Ashram in Guardian meeting and entrance test day at SewaKunj from all across the Sonbhadra District. This is much larger crowd than that of previous year which numbered 230.
About 300 students appeared in the test for admission.
The intake of students is not only on the basis of test and interview. Some other factors are also kept in mind. These are:
1. There are fourteen kind of tribal community in Sonbhadra. If there is lesser number of or not any student from some community then we are trying to include some of these tribal children.
2. If there are not any students from remote, inaccessible village, we are taking at least one from that village.
3. Some students who are good in archery, we are selecting such students.
4. This time three students were not good in study, but they are excellent in traditional music. They are selected.
5. It seems unusual, but about 20 percent children are taken from the family of effective people of village or community and the rest are from common mass. Effective people may help in spreading in their village easily. They might play critical role in spreading awareness among the masses and will help in smooth running of other programs.
This year we have kept the capacity of SewaKunj Ashram same with eight new entrants replacing the passed out students. The rest about forty two were sent to other hostels of the state.
Hope you all people will help in raising resources to run the Ashram well and make the education more effective qualitatively.
Zabardast Shanta bhaiya!!
