We started work in the new geography of MP in 2016, 14 years after the beginning of Parivaar in Bengal. Here we worked on the plan to set up Day Boarding (Education cum Meal Programs) for children in the age-group of 4 to 14 in selected pockets of deprivation and malnourishment in tribal districts of Madhya Pradesh. These centres, each having between 70 to 100 children are being named ‘Sri Ramakrishna Vivekananda Seva Kutirs’. 709 such centres are already in operation as on date. At these Kutirs more than 50 thousand children are getting nutritious meals along with good quality supplementary education and life-skills over morning and evening shifts (around 6 hours of engagement daily (except Sundays).
From April 2023, we have been running some Kutirs as 'Shiksha Kutirs', where morning breakfast and light nutritious supplement in evening is provided along with education in morning and evening shifts. In the remaining 'Seva Kutirs', morning breakfast and evening full dinner (roti, vegetables, pulses and rice) is provided along with education in morning and evening shifts.
