Condensed Courses of Education for Women
The Scheme of Condensed Courses of Education was initiated by CSWB in 1958 to cater to the needs of adult girls / women who could not join mainstream education system or were school dropouts. The scheme aims to provide educational opportunities to girls / women above the age of 15 years alongwith additional inputs of skill development /
vocational training. The main focus of the scheme is to ensure that contents of the course are need-based and modified according to local requirement, simultaneously targeting various stages of educational levels of primary / middle / high school and matric / secondary level courses. The programme also aims at instilling confidence among adult women through education making them able citizens. Selection of candidates is required to be done by a committee comprising the institution and the Principal / representative of a local government school of the area where the course is to be held. The Scheme is being implemented through Voluntary Organisations and educational institutions, having requisite infrastructure and experience in the field of women / social development and education across the country.
