Helping to Increase Rural Literacy in Assam (HIRLA)

About

The Association for International and Intercultural Exchange (AIE), Germany, in partnership with Bosco Reach Out (BRO), Guwahati, has been supporting underprivileged students through the “Help to Increase Rural Literacy in Assam (HIRLA)” programme. The word ‘HIRLA’ is derived from Santali language meaning ‘helping hand’.  This project targets students from CARE schools located in remote areas of Kokrajhar district. Selected students are admitted to nearby English medium schools and also to Don Bosco School, Amguri, which offers boarding facilities under the Bridging Course Programme. The main objective of the HIRLA programme is to empower deprived communities in Lower Assam, particularly poor tribal families, by enabling access to quality primary and higher education. This initiative is vital for families who are unable to afford English medium schooling for their children. Currently, 87 students from CARE schools have received admission into five feeder schools (Classes KG–V), while 36 students were directly enrolled at Don Bosco School, Amguri (Classes KG–X/XII). Additionally, 13 students from Assamese-medium backgrounds have joined Don Bosco, Amguri, under the Bridging Course and will continue their studies up to Class X/XII.

These scholarships have significantly increased the enrollment of children from Santal and Adivasi (Kuruk) communities at Don Bosco School, Amguri, contributing to the region’s socio-economic development. Over the past three years, 136 families from Lungsung, Saralpara, and Amguri have benefited from this programme. The families express deep gratitude to BRO and AIE, Germany, for their unwavering support and generosity in uplifting the lives of underprivileged children through education.

Supporting my Education

My name is Miss Beronika Kinduwar, daughter of Lt. Habil Kinduwar and Ms. Joshna Kinduwar. I study in Class V at Don Bosco School, Saralpara. My sister also studies in the same school. After my father's passing, my mother has struggled to support us. Without your help, studying in an English medium school would not have been possible. I sincerely thank AIE and BRO for supporting my education. I will study hard to become a professor and help poor children.

Unconditional Support

My name is Kusail Hasda, son of Sorkar Hasda and Rimika Kisku from Jhamelapur, Lungsung. I am studying in Class V at Don Bosco School, Amguri. My parents and I sincerely thank AIE and BRO for their unconditional support for my education. Due to financial hardship, my parents had enrolled me in an Assamese medium school, as they couldn't afford an English medium one. Your support gave them the courage to admit me to Don Bosco School. I will study hard, become a doctor, and help others in the future. Thank you very much once again.

My name is Miss Purmita Hembrom, daughter of Ram Hembrom and Mirila Soren from Dhordhora village, Lungsung. I am a student of St. Mary’s School, Salbari, Lungsung. We are three siblings, and due to lack of income, my father had no courage to educate us in an English medium school. Thanks to AIE and BRO, who came as angels to shape my future. Because of your support, my father gathered the courage to admit me to an English medium school. My two sisters are still studying in Assamese medium. Thank you once again for helping me build my future.

Helping me Pursue my Dreams

My name is Miss Anjomoni Mardi, daughter of Magam Mardi and Sumi Hembrom from Gaurinagar. I am studying in Class III at Balajan English Medium Public School. Though I am the only daughter of my parents, they couldn’t afford to admit me to an English medium school, as my father is a daily laborer. Thank you, AIE and BRO, for your financial support in helping me pursue my dreams. Without your help, I would have been sent to a government school. From the depth of my heart, I sincerely thank you for your support.
