According to the 2020-21 report by the Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE), the annual dropout rate of secondary school students in India was 14.6%. Poverty, accessibility, and availability are cited as the major reasons for school dropouts in the country. To address this challenge, TZF has launched its "School Chale Hum" initiative that specifically caters to students who have dropped out of school. The proposed intervention aims to enroll a minimum of 800 school dropouts, with a target of enrolling at least 65% of them in formal education. The initiative involves motivational sessions to help adolescent minds mainstream into the passage of all-around development. Regular camps designed to impart real-life learning experiences and inculcate a sensitised approach towards parts and pockets of India are also part of the program.
