IN THE EDUCATION FIELD

Boarding Homes:

Since educational facilities were lack- ing in most of the villages the missionaries started to bring the des- titute children from different villages to their parish head quarters and provided them with all facilities. It is interesting to note the humble beginning of several of such charity homes which still pro- vide free boarding and lodging to hundreds and thousands of poor children later.

  • Schools:

    In some places, even in the missionary headquar- ters there were no schools. In other places the standard of educa- tion was deteriorating because of the absence of teachers. In other cases Harijan children were discriminated with the result that they stopped going to schools. Hence it was imperative for the mission- aries to start schools. We may enumerate the following schools.
