Bachche Mann Ke Sachche (BMKS)
program by AF is one of the flagship programs of AF. The BMKS program
directly takes on the vision (Every child should get access to quality
education) and mission (To empower children who are from economically
weaker sections of the society by providing them monetary and non-monetary
support, in the field of education) of AF. As part of this program, every
year, just before the beginning of the academic year, BMKS volunteers
identify certain areas and conduct BMKS surveys. In this survey, volunteers
visit each home and collect data about each family in that particular area. In
particular, the volunteers collect data about kids who should be going to
school, but are currently not admitted to any school or are planning to drop
out of school, mostly due to financial difficulties or lack of awareness about
the importance of education. The volunteers identify all such kids/families who
need support and can potentially benefit from the BMKS program. Once all such
kids are identified in a particular area, AF sponsors their school fees and
gets them admitted to one of the nearby schools. This ensures that more and
more deprived kids get a deserved shot at education and get an opportunity to
lead better lives.
This year 2011, the time has come to kick
off the BMKS program. It is that time of the year when we conduct the BMKS
surveys. And this time it is for the academic year 2011-12.
