Jagrati is an initiative by the students of IIITDM Jabalpur to provide free and quality education to the poor and under-privileged children of villages surrounding our institute.
Currently, we have adopted 5 villages in the vicinity of our institute, namely, Gadheri, Amanala, Chanditola, Mehgawan and Suarkol where we donate education to around 100 children of classes 1 through 10. Apart from providing basic education to the students in regular classes, we also prepare the students of 4th and 5th grade for the prestigious Navodaya Vidyalaya and other similar government-funded institutions which provides quality education to students, completely free of cost.
Apart from teaching the children, we do many other activities like organizing Blood Donation Camps, Tree Plantation Drives, Cloth Donation, Stationery Distribution, Campaigns to spread awareness in villages, etc.
Our Achievements:
- 1 student selected in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in 2018.
- 1 student selected in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in 2019.
- 2 students selected in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in 2020.
- 4 students cleared entrance examination for Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS) in 2020.
- 4 students cleared entrance examination for Gyanodaya Vidyalaya in 2020.
(Like Navodaya Vidyalaya, both EMRS and Gyanodaya Vidyalaya provide free quality education to students from class 6 to 12).
Currently, we are operating in online mode to prepare students of class 5 for Navodaya Examination, 2021.
JagratiWebApp is the official web application for managing day-to-day operations at Jagrati, like keeping track of the content being taught in a class and homework being given to the students, taking and keeping record of student and volunteer attendance, keeping record of all the students being taught under the initiative and the volunteers contributing towards the initiative among many things.
The main aim of the application is to simplify the work of volunteers by making all the information readily accessible to them like what was taught in the last class or in the last week and how many student attended those classes so that they can easily decide what should be taught on the present day and update the same in the application. Plus, it also helps in taking the attendance of students with more ease over the conventional method of manually taking note of the names of all the students present.
So, all in all, it is meant to help the volunteers work more effectively and efficiently and make it easy to keep track of daily activities.
