Project Description

Prajnalaya strives to give knowledge of self-reliance through manual labor and involvement of local people.By giving vocational education, it will help the pupils to find out the way of livelihood and also will give the ability to cope with the competitive world.

We are planning for a number of initiatives including to extend and open fishery in the premises of the school, opening training for handloom with a target group of village women, a offset and DTP training center and organic fertilizer.

Purpose / Goals

The Organic fertilizer Project :

It has been noticed that due to use of Chemical Fertilizers, no doubt, Production increases but it affects the people badly. Hence, instead of chemical fertilizers, we have supported and try to bring out Organic Fertilizers i.e.Vermiculture. Now-a-days, organic fertilizer has a good market demand particularly among the people growing vegetable and flowers. We are planning to use cow dung, worms and other waste products to produce the organic fertilizer. It is expected that our project will not only be a production center but also a center for hands on training to the students and also to the villagers.

Organization Description

Prajnalaya is consisted of several branches including literature, drama, music etc. for art lovers there are Ramdhenu Xangskritic Xamaj and for the service of children there is an institution named 'Xuruj Mukhi Moina'. Prajnadweep Jatia Vidyalaya is another regular institution for the education of the pupils who will be provided with hostel facilities (named Ashtha) in the premises of Prajnalaya. The pupils living in the hostel will be employed in some productive activities. The different things produce in this way will be known as 'Prajna-Product' and the unit employed for this purpose will be known as 'Prajna Trad'. Apart from achieving vocational education, the pupils will also be benefited by gaining the lessons of self-reliance and working culture. There will be a library and a meusium named 'Prajna Puthibhanral' and 'Prajna Xangrakshan'.
