Program Interventions
Shikshan Mitra
 Shikshan-Mitra programme by MITTRA was launched in 2003 for tribal children in Ashram Schools, with an aim of making education more relevant to the tribal children.
The programme provides spaces for learning to the students. 'Learning by doing', is the mantra for programme implementation. The educational project activities related to agriculture, health, are done by the students themselves.
 The idea of such an education system is to provide exposure to the tribal students and so visits are arranged to various institutions like banks, police stations, which helps them to gain knowledge and build a sense of confidence. Presently the Shikshan Mitra programme is being implemented in 83 Ashram schools in Jawhar, Nashik, Shahada, Jalgaon, Yevatmal and Chandrapur regions.
Shikshan Mitra programme is a student focused programme. It envisages that the residential tribal schools (ashram shalas) will act as development centers for the surrounding area. Students' activity groups are formed to take the programme ahead and ensure that learning takes place effectively. Field activities, exposure visits, annual sharing workshops and participatory planning meetings with school staff form a major part of this programme.
