Orissa has high percentage of illiteracy\u00a0with majority of the population classified as tribal\u2019s i.e. people living in forests. The region though is\u00a0rich in minerals like iron and coal. This has led to a lot of deforestation leaving the tribal people\u00a0with no home and also making the naxalite movement grow more. The primary reason why we\u00a0went there was to help these children who were not known to the outside world and lived in such\u00a0pitiable conditions without much support or hope for a better future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1460\" height=\"604\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-27-at-00.10.04.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-134\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-27-at-00.10.04.png 1460w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-27-at-00.10.04-300x124.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-27-at-00.10.04-1024x424.png 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-27-at-00.10.04-768x318.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1460px) 100vw, 1460px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Education:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the children go to the Public schools at the village, following&nbsp;the Orissa state syllabus.
