Navodaya Mission
Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya movement aims at providind good quality education to the talented children predominantly from Rural areas for which 75% seats are reserved. Hafsa Foundation from its short experience in the field of education in rural areas found that the awareness about Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya is very poor. This is depriving the talented rural students from getting benefit of better education at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas . Talent is being nipped in the bud.Hafsa Navodaya Mission is a project of Hafsa Foundation to spread the concept Navodaya Vidyalaya education and help rural meritorious students in getting admission.
HaFSA carries out sustained campaign to create awareness among guardians and students about Navodaya Movement.
Hafsa Foundation for Social Advancement(HaFSA) organises a talent search competition in May among Class IV and V students to find out students with latent talent and groom them up to become Doctors, Engineeers,Professors ,Scientists ,IAS/ACS Officers and Professional Managers in future.
Why Class IV and V students?
There are many talented students in rural areas. But their latent talent mostly goes un-noticed and due care is not given in the formative period. As result their base /foundation become week and their talent dries up and they become ordinary students. Hafsa Talent search is an attempt to identify the students with latent talent ,groom them up through continuous coaching ,mentoring and guidance and lead them towards successful career path as per their aptitude and inclination.
Target Navodaya Vidalaya, Poilapool:Talented students will be encouraged to go to Navodaya Vidyalaya in Class VI .
Guidance and Mentoring Talented Students by HaFSA Academy:
The talented students will be given specialized coaching for Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test to be held very year .In Navodaya Vidyalaya Poilapool 70% seats are reserved for rural students(of which 30% seats are reserved for girls).With good and focused coaching for about 10 months most of such talented students will get selection for admission in class VI of Navodaya Vidyalaya. The unsuccessful students who will have good foundation will also get seats in other good schools and do better than others in competitive environment.
Connecting to Vision 50 of USTM:
