Question

work done by anutai wagh for education tribal​

Answer 1

Answer:

• In 1945 Anutai met Tarabai Modak who asked her if she was willing to work among the tribals in Palghar. Tarabai was planning to start an experimental school for tribal children. Anutai said yes, a decision which set the course for the rest of her life.
• Anutai began her work in the Bordi – Kosbad area (in Dahanu taluka, Palghar). With Tarabai Modak, she set up a Balwadi (playschool) in a thickly forested tribal area in Bordi. There was no road, electricity or any kind of communication. But need overrode inconveniences. There were eight tribal hamlets nearby and about a hundred children in need of an education. The school was inaugurated by B G Kher, Chief Minister of the then Bombay Presidency on December 24, 1945. The centre moved to its present location in Kosbad Hill in 1957.
• Overcoming the tribals’ reluctance to send their children to school was a challenge. Anutai would go to the children’s homes, bring them to school, wash them, feed them and drop them back to their houses. Eventually, she used a bullock cart to transport the children.
