Save Bandhyali School (Digantar, Jaipur)

The Bandhyali School (run by Digantar) offers path-breaking education to children from underprivileged families in the outskirts of the city Jaipur (in Rajasthan, India). On 2nd December 2005, the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA), has sent an eviction notice to the school to vacate the land in three days. This is an unjust action taken by government. Many people across countries are involved in an effort to convince the governement to not take this action.

Details of the Digantar which is one of Asha-Seattle's partners for past several years are here:
