Social Service Division was inaugurated at Bungamati, Khokana. This,
in fact, marked the culmination of years of Gyanodaya's active but
informal involvement in social service and community work to uplift
the condition of the deprived and underprivileged as well as help
in the rehabilitation of the victims of natural calamities. For
Gyanodaya, it meant the institutionalization of its long contribution
in the area of social and community affairs. At the community level,
it meant the realization of the educational aspirations of many
underprivileged and backward community children and illiterate adult
women.
This Division has a Pre-Primary School with complete facilities
--- classroom, teaching aids, play area, library, etc. --- and provides
free uniforms and foot wears to children of the area attending the
school. It also runs informal education classes for all interested
adult women at the Centre every day from Sunday to Friday from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. Presently, some 30 children and a sizeable number
of women are benefiting from the programmes run at the Centre.
