The Nava Raipur Atal Nagar Vikas Pradhikaran (NRANVP) has approved Phase 2 of Christel House India, a school for children of economically weaker sections from villages affected under the Nava Raipur project area. A total of 43 villages come in the project area.
Jaison C. Mathew, CEO of Christel House India, told the media on Tuesday: “We recognize that to build a strong nation, the education of our children, especially from the underprivileged communities, cannot be compromised."
He said that under the project, the children will receive high quality education, healthcare, life skills, character and employment skills. "It is all free."
The work is expected to start by October 1 and the school is set to reopen next year.
In the existing school, 20 villages have been covered. Now all 43 villages will be covered. Once admitted, the school provides financial and academic support till the students graduate and one year after finding a job, Mathew said.
