This will help the poor & needy girl child to take a basic education. In India we have several Such girls students who are deprive in taking education.
    I am a founder of Marathi primary school, which is at North of Goa. The place called Dhave- Tar, Valpoi Sattari. Our 100% students are from poor family and some are from Schedule Tribe (Dhangar) and OBC.

    Good move,but SBI has to take the guarianship of the child till it becomes selfreliant.Only organising a display and handing over books etc.is not enough.and responsible organisations like SBI should publish every year what it has done as guardian and what it intends to do next year and what is the progress of the child in positive direction so that lots of organisation will follow suit.May be govt.should give incometax rebate to such organisation if such moves are successfull in toto.But no caste, no religion please,better if a comittee formed with all religious heads and school heads-but no one from well to do schools who charge exorbitant fees.
