Sister Nivedita School on Wheels
|
- Jamnagar
- Rajkot
- Surendranagar
|
In 1994, the School on Wheels project started with the vision of empowering rural schools and educating children in marginalized areas. The program started with one school bus that traveled through the interiors of the districts of Gujarat bringing training to the teachers, exposure to the children and innovation to the principals of the schools. Today, School on Wheels has reached out to thousands of children across several villages, trained hundreds of teachers, built infrastructure in many schools and changed the lives of millions of villagers.
School on Wheels is an initiative of the Sister Nivedita Foundation. The Foundation was started in Rajkot in 1968 by Smt. Ushaben Jani and Shree. Gulabbhai Jani, both professors of Economics at that time. It started with the vision of propagating education of the highest quality to all children and impacting the lives of people in the community through education.

Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Scholarship
|

Girls' Scholarship Scheme for Std. 9-12. (For economically challenged needy Girls)
We believe in making education sustainable and long-term. One of our biggest successes has been to control the drop-out rate of adolescent students, especially girls, from schools. Many of rural students do not have the means to continue further studies after primary school (Grade 8). Also, most of the high schools and higher education institutes are in bigger towns and urban areas and hence, students need to leave home and pay for accommodation to live and study in towns and cities. This becomes a financially unviable option for the parents who are economically backward and are not able to afford such expenses.
To make education long-lasting, especially for girls, Sister Nivedita Educational Complex instituted the Scholarship program at the time of “Amrut Mahotsav” celebration of the founder Smt. Ushaben Jani that provides financial reprieve to girl students to some extent. The Scholarship program is for girl students who pursue high school education up to standard 12th. These scholarships are awarded on merit based on one’s performance in the examinations.
Till now, Sister Nivedita Educational Complex has awarded 1052 girl students with scholarships worth Rs.52, 000, 00/-.
To provide support for higher education to boys and girls both, we instituted the interest free Loan program sponsored by Share & Care Foundation, USA that allows them to borrow some funds towards their higher education and repay it in instalments, usually after they start earning. This has been one of the most empowering programs as more and more students find it extremely difficult to pursue higher education due to very high educational expenses. Till date, Sister Nivedita Educational Complex has given interest free loans worth Rs.1, 63, 51,600/- to 214 students.

Livelihood Enhancement (Job oriented Skill Development)
|
|
Sister Nivedita Educational Complex believes that education is a lifelong process. Continuing Education Centre is a centre for providing life-long education, a centre to provide alternate employment opportunities for those who have not received complete education or formal education.
It aims to train people and provide them with skills that make them self-sufficient and capable of gaining employment or starting a business of their own. The concept of continuing education is particularly appropriate in a country like ours where a large number of people have been denied basic educational facilities and even where such facilities exist, large numbers are unable to avail the same because of socio-economic situations. We should therefore provide increasing opportunities for all adults to learn according to their interest and needs and to ensure that every person has an opportunity to develop his talent and is not deprived of facilities on account of his failure to go through the formal education system at one stage or another.

Sister Nivedita Educational Complex was founded in 1968 by Smt. Ushaben Jani and Shri Gulabbhai Jani.
Ushaben and Gulabbhai Jani were Professors of Economics in a college affiliated to Saurashtra University in 1967. As part of the celebrations of the birth centenary of Sister Nivedita, they arranged few lectures and programs in the college. Swami Atmasthanandji, the then President of Ramkrishna Ashram, Rajkot was quite impressed by their work. Swami Atmasthanandji asked them to carry out the same activities at the school level as well. Inspired by him, Smt. Ushaben and Shree. Gulabbhai opened a small K.G. school in the name of Sister Nivedita in 1968 and thus Sister Nivedita Educational Complex (SNEC) came into existence.
The aim of SNEC is to provide quality education to all. We aim to challenge the conventional "teacher-to-student" or one-way method of teaching, giving way to active involvement of the students in the learning process through group workshops, activities and interactive sessions. Our effort is directed to encourage self-learning, while developing the mind, body and spirit.
After one year of activities of Sister Nivedita Educational Complex, parents and guardians of the students approached and persuaded us to start primary school and a year later to start High School and Higher Secondary School. Brick by brick, SNEC was built and today it indeed stands as a huge educational complex with a number of sister institutes and activities as a part of it.
