We are currently in the process of identifying all the 6000 sites across rural India
with the aim of providing minimum of 10 schools for every district across India.
The target site evaluation is done based on several criteria like the population,
per capita income in the region, availability of basic amenities like water, power
etc, the literacy levels, socio-economic conditions.
The target site identification is done by a team of experts who will analyze the
data and arrive at the correct location for these schools in a given district.
The identification of these sites will start in June 2006 and is expected to be
completed by December 2007 and the finalised locations will be published in the
website.
During the same time period the local site owners will be identified and recruited,
as full time employees of Schools for India.

Target Site Survey Schools for India undertakes survey of each of the district to collect both primary and secondary data. A team of volunteers go around the villages collecting information pertaining to the number of children in each household, and the following questions are asked, Are they going to school? If so how far is the school? If not why and what is the reason? etc. A scientific questionnaire is filled in to assess the need for building a school in that area. The survey results in identification of the potential site at which we need to build the school. Schools for India as a policy will not build the schools near existing Government or Private schools. The focus is to provide the infrastructure where there is none today. |
| The target Sites: The target sites are identified after conducting the research. The research for locating the sites are done in two phases: The first phase consists of the secondary research which involves the identification of blocks and villages in a district and the number of schools, their coverage, the population, literacy levels and various government and non government programs are also identified. The second phase consists of the door to door survey of each village in a block. The door to door survey helps in finding out statistics such as population, literacy/illiteracy rates, male-female ratio,availability of resources like water, electricity and road/transport facilities. The site will be identified at a central location, that will remain within a 8 to 10 KM radius of all the surrounding villages, so that the Schools for India buses will be able to bring the children to school with ease. |
