Badi Pilustundi-Out of School Children Enrollment Program from 25th Jul to 2nd Aug
The Primary Objective of Right to Education Act, 2009 is to ensure enrolment of all children in the age group of 6-14 years in to the school. Inspite of best efforts it is unfortunate still some children remain out of the school. Such children can be divided into two categories i.e., Never Enrolled, Enrolled but dropped out. Some children are also involved in hazardous occupations and engaged as "child labour". Seasonal out migration and in migration of families has added to the problem of dropouts and many such children are discontinuing of Education.
In effect, there is a dropout rate of 19.06% upto elementary level in the present Andhra Pradesh State. Govt. of Andhra Pradesh in its total commitment towards implementation of "RTE", has proposed for special drive with the following objectives.
