1. Introduction
Rural education in India faces significant challenges due to a lack of resources,
infrastructure, and awareness. XYZ Village, located in [Block, District, State], has a literacy
rate of 55%, significantly lower than the national average. Through this outreach program,
we aim to bridge the education gap and provide career guidance to students in the village,
empowering them for a brighter future.
2. Objectives

Distribute educational materials to students lacking resources.
Enroll 20+ school dropouts back into the education system.
Provide career counseling to at least 50 high school students.

career guidance. Dropout rates among students aged 12–18 are high, primarily due to
financial constraints and lack of awareness about career opportunities.

labor work.

and external support.
