Question
State your opinion.
Our society needs 'Ratrashala' and 'Sakharshala'.
Solution
The programmes like ‘Ratrashala’ (Night Schools), and ‘Sakharshala’ (Schools for seasonal workers harvesting sugarcane) deserve a special mention here. The first night school in Maharastra was started by Mahatma Jotirao Phule in the 19th century. A number of night schools are run in Maharashtra, inspired by Mahatma Phule’s work. This programme is specially meant to benefit the students who work in the daytime. In the season of sugarcane harvesting, many labourers migrate temporarily to the sites of various sugar factories. To facilitate the education of their children special schools, known as ‘Sakharshala’ were started in the vicinity of sugar factories. The State administration is taking the help of voluntary organisations to increase the literacy rate. This has helped in achieving 100% literacy in the districts of Sindhudurg and Wardha. It provided an impetus to adult education. The government provided books to school children for supplementary reading.
