Ratanmani Vidyalay : A Residential Primary School for Tribal Children
In 1993 , Voluntary Health Association of Tripura (VHAT) planned to initiate one project for promotion of community health , women empowerment and elementary education of the underprivileged children. We selected ten village panchayats under Rupaichari block of South Tripura district as the project area. This was remote , less accessible, tribal people dominated area. There are three clans of tribes live in the area, viz. Tripura, Mog & Chakma . When we did primary survey as part of the situation analysis, it was found that there was not a single person who completed the study up to Class-V. The community priority was also “education” for their children. Giving the importance of community priority , VHAT started a non-formal education centre in April 1994 with village children & developed a condensed course to complete the study of Class 1 to Class V within three years. In the year 2000, this centre got the recognition from the state education department as junior basic school by the name “ Ratanmani Vidyalay” with the aim to promote quality primary education of the tribal children living in this remote hilly areas of Rupaichari block under South Tripura district. As on March 2024 Ratanmani Vidyalay completed thirty (30) years of its existence and achieved the status of quality primary education centre for the poor tribal children in the area.
Students – category: In 2023-2024, two hundred forty six (246) children from various panchayats of Rupaichari Block under the Tribal Area Autonomous District Council admitted in Ratanmani Vidyalay and 238 children were accommodated in the school hostel.
