If
you visit Bongaigoan, and find a congested colony where crowd of rack-pickers,
labours, coolies and child labours running in hurry in the morning, then it is
none other than Salbari Colony where 1000 families are living in a horrific
manner.
Undoubtedly,
ignorance, poverty, illiteracy and unemployment are the four main pillars of
Salbari Colony which exclude it from the main city of Bongaigoan.
While
enrolling 100 students in our tuition centre, we inaugurated Community Centre
in Salbari Colony, but the truth is among 100 students, only 10 are going to
School. The reason of dropouts is very simple and straight as poverty rate has
crossed the line and priority has moved to earn not to learn.
As
per the plan, Rehab India Foundation has started Community Centre to run
Village Development activities. Initially, the preference is given to the
education and initiated motivational dialogues with children and parents. Next
move of Rehab will be economical development as maximum women and children are
involved in rag-picking and men in coolie profession.
