prescribed textbooks and examination system of the State are followed in the KGBV schools.

year).
The 4th and final Evaluation is conducted in the KGBV in the month of December, in which
marks of all the previous evaluation are calculated and final grade is given to the child. After

Stories of Impact
1. Ms. Samina Sultana is a class VII student of KGBV Laharighat, Morigaon
district. During summer vacation when she went to her home where her parents
decided to discontinue her studies and marry her instead. She was told that they will
not send her to KGBV again after vacation as her marriage will be fixed soon. Samina
immediately protested about this decision and told her parents she will continue her
studies. She requested and convinced her parents that this not her age for marriage
and she should first finish her studies. She was allowed to return to KGBV and
continue her studies. Life skill education has given her enough knowledge and builds
her confidence that she could protect herself from early marriage.
2. Dipandita Chutia, a girl child from Class-VII of KGBV Panitola, Dibrugarh
district faced a problem when she travelled with her mother to her uncle’s home at
Chabua in the evening during summer vacation. Her mother went to a nearby place
and told her to wait for a while. In the mean time she saw her friend Shewali walking
on the other side of the road and she shouted at her with excitement. But due to the
noise of the vehicles Shewali could not hear her and eventually, she crossed the road
to meet her and started walking unknowingly with her along the side of the road.
When her mother did not see her at the place she became worried and looked at the
corners and footpaths in search of her daughter. When Shewali left her friend she
realised that she was moving somewhere else away from her mother and therefore
started weeping across the road. After a while she decided that she had to do
something rather than crying. First she thought the she should tell about the incident
to a man walking along the road. But she thought that it might not be safe and sound
for her. Then she saw a traffic police performing his duties and she went to report him
immediately. She told him about the incident and gave him the mobile no of her
mother. The police official rang up her mother and informed the whereabouts of her
daughter. Shewali’s mother rushed to the spot and rescued her without any
difficulties. Thus Shewali could save her life by applying life skills in proper time
with the spirit of self-confidence.
