(ii) To provide necessary infrastructure for these schools

(iii) To prepare and procure necessary teaching learning material and aids for the schools
(iv) To put in place appropriate systems to provide necessary academic support and for
evaluation and monitoring
(v) To motivate and prepare the girls and their families to send them to residential school
(vi) At the primary level the emphasis will be on the slightly older girls who are out of school
and were unable to complete primary schools (10+). However, in difficult areas (migratory
populations, scattered habitations that do not qualify for primary/ upper primary schools)
younger girls can also be targeted
(vii) At the upper primary level, emphasis will be on girls, especially, adolescent girls who are
unable to go to regular schools
(viii) In view of the targeted nature of the scheme, 75% girls from SC, ST, OBC or minority
communities would be accorded priority for enrolment in such residential schools and only
thereafter, 25% girls from families below poverty line.
(ix) Established NGOs and other non-profit making bodies will be involved in the running of the
schools, wherever possible. These residential schools can also be adopted by the corporate
groups.
