Education
Right to education is one of the fundamental rights that the children have. But despite such rights millions of children do not even attend pre-primary school. Pre-primary education is very important for all children of 3-6 years old irrespective of their socio-economic backgrounds. Pre-Primary education is considered to be very important for the child as it is the first step towards entering the world of Knowledge as well as a healthy and purposeful life. It helps to prepare the children physically, emotionally, socially and mentally for formal schooling and to prevent poor performance and early dropout.
Prayas is a success story of Toronto Calcutta Association. Keeping in mind the above Toronto Calcutta Foundation has started “Prayas” a pre-primary school at Makhaltala, Ghutiary Sharif, South 24 Parganas in the year 2001 with the financial help from Toronto Calcutta Foundation.
Toronto Calcutta association provides free Books and stationeries, two sets of school dresses including winter garments, shoes with socks for the students and also provides free tiffin during school hour.
