ANNUAL REPORT JAGO FOUNDATION 2014 - 2015 ANNUAL REPORT From the Secretary Desk We are pleased to place the Annual Report for the year 2014-15, our 17th year in the Development field. At a time when the institution was formed, when social, economic, political, cultural, and environmental issues had been unleashed in the giridih district. As well as social problems such as dowry, dowry deaths, child marriage, child labour, child trade, rape, migration rise rates, pollution and education problems was rise. At the present time the government made several important laws such as Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005, Right to Information Act, 2005, Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009, Forest Right Act 2006, Child Marriage Prohibition Act 2006, Child Protection Act 2006 & so on. But the law information has not reached among the peoples. So at a time increases the importance of our institution. It is our pleasure to contribute effectively in this reporting year towards education of marginalized children through institutions and various programs. It’s worth mentioning about girls’- educational sponsorship program which ensured continuing high school education for 1308 adolescent girls and boys, checking their marriage at childhood. During 2014-15, a very challenging program got started as a child marriage. Jago Foundation aims to develop a society based on equity, justice and fraternity.
