Jeevanshala....Life Schools for Adivasi Children in narmada valley by Prashant Nakwe
One of the most enduring offshoots of the Medha Patkar-led Narmada Bachao Andolan, (NBA) which the tribals affected by the Narmada dam ran, are Jeevanshalas (Schools of Life), a string of rural boarding schools run by a dedicated group of NBA activists and teachers. The schools provide primary education to children of shepherds, fishermen and farmers in living in the hamlets of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat states. Launched in 1991, there are 12 such schools proving basic education to 1,372 children with the help of 50 teachers. The schools impart education in the tribal dialect, and as a result, not only do children drop-out, but achieve excellent academic results.
Prashant works with most widely circulated English broadsheet from Mumbai & has won several awards for his work. He has held seven exhibitions of his work on. Jeevanshalas was exhibited as part of the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival in Mumbai in 2008. Prashant is still working on this project.
