Abstract

The school head and her team put in hard work to deal with issues of discipline and attendance of
students. They focused both on raising academic standards of students and promoting their
participation in extracurricular activities. Students were awarded prizes for their best performance.
One of the important hurdles on the path of faster social development in Chandil was battling the
prevalence of early marriage. To stop early marriages, girls were educated and taught not to marry
at such an early age. With children, parents were also educated that they should not get their
children married before 18 years of age. Empowering girls by informing them of their basic human
rights, right to refuse a marriage and other education programmes on health and sex education,
were some of the other important initiatives taken by the school. The school has made concerted
efforts to encourage girl students to complete their studies before marriage and provided them
opportunities for vocational education for self-reliance.
