Jyoti, a ray of light in the darkness.
Free Night School for Children by students of Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College

Jyoti, a ray of light in the darkness.

Jyoti is a Free Night Education Centre for Children run by the students of Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College (JGEC), under the students-run society called the "Centre of Social Welfare"

There are many poor villages surrounding Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College, where the need to earn money has left people uneducated and not receiving the proper sense of education. Even many children under the age of 10 who are working in the nearby canteens or dhaabas have either left studies due to the urge to work for money, an burden forced on them by their financial condition, or yet continue having improper education. These children, children who are the light of future India are buried under the burden of poverty and illiteracy. So how to change this miserable situation going in this particular district, was a demanding question that stroke the minds of our college students. And that was how "Jyoti" was initiated.
