Latest Updates from Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care (SRLC): Educational Care: Shrimad Rajchandra Gurukul Tops Std. 12 Exams with 93% Passing Percentage: Due to COVID-19 lockdown, students had very little time to prepare for the standard 12 board exams in 2021-2022. In addition, issues with broadband connectivity and electricity made studying even more difficult for the students. In order to assist students in passing their exams, sevarpits and volunteers stepped up to tutor them, based on their requirements. The efforts led to outstanding results; with Shrimad Rajchandra Gurukul students achieving a 93% passing rate, compared to 72% passing in Gujarat, 58% passing in Valsad and 57% in Dharampur. Shrimad Rajchandra Gurukul’s percentage is the highest amongst 240 areas in and around Dharampur and is the top amongst private schools in Valsad. Tie-up with the Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (CED): The Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (CED) is a premier organisation of the Government of Gujarat engaged in entrepreneurship development training since 1979 and skill development since 2009, the first of this kind in the country. The concept behind CED is to develop entrepreneurs in the urban as well as rural areas of the state, who can establish their own enterprise (trading/service/manufacturing) Due to lack of guidance and information, rural people often take loans but are unable to repay them due to the losses they incur in business. Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care and CED entered into an MOU whereby it shall be an empanelment agency for entrepreneurship training programme in South Gujarat. This MOU will help develop entrepreneurial talent across different groups of people over 18 years – comprising students, dropouts, women, farmers or people wishing to gain skills for any other industry. This partnership will benefit the entire rural community in developing their overall standard of living by providing opportunities of self-employment by way of imparting entrepreneurial skills. Expert-level training will be given to village-level entrepreneurs in fields like production, pricing, accounting, marketing, legal permissions, recruitment, customer care for manufacturing and services sectors. The introductory programme under this joint initiative witnessed participation from over 200 students from Shrimad Rajchandra Vidyapeeth and Shrimad Rajchandra Skill Development Centre. A 15-day entrepreneurship development programme was conducted for 80 students from Shrimad Rajchandra Skill Development Centre. In the long term, ‘Special Entrepreneurship Training with 360 Approach’ shall also be organised. The youth of Dharampur and Kaprada Talukas show resistance to migrating to other towns/cities for lucrative employment opportunities. They have a tendency to remain within their comfort zone. The two organisations will also work on a scheme for skill development which provides financial support to skill drop out youth of the Dharampur and surrounding areas.
