Don Bosco’s Konkan Development Society (KDS) has been running the Remedial School Project (RSP) since 2011, to aid disadvantaged and marginalized children. The objectives are to augment the need for remedial education across Schools, by assisting rural Government as well as Aided schools and to ensure minimum drop-outs, especially in classes 8, 9 and 10.

Since 2018, thanks to our donors Colorcon Asia Pvt. Ltd., we were able to help 1200 children in 29 schools across Goa, primarily in the field of education.

Besides assisting the students with the main subjects of Math, Science and English, the daily activities included captivating the students’ attention by tools such as games, quizzes, art & craft, audio visual aids, quarterly incentive awards and token prizes.

All of this has been achieved by our Teachers, most of whom are B.Ed trained, who create an interest in learning through simple, effective and value based study plans and co-curricular activities.

The response to this Project has been enthusiastic and hence we plan to continue it with strategic changes that have been carefully thought out, to further enhance the outcome and outreach. This modified Project is called the Integrated Student Aid Centres (ISAC) Project. However, due to the unprecedented situation caused by the COVID 19 Pandemic, we have not been able to launch the new Project yet. We hope to do so when the situation permits.
