Govt. College Fasterpur is located in Fasterpur, Setganga area of Mungeli district. Economically, the area with a majority of rural population is mainly dependent on agriculture. Higher education is challenging for this sector due to lack of regular/permanent sources of income.
Govt. College Fasterpur is committed to connect the girls of the area with higher education since its inception. The following major objectives have been set by the college in this context.
The college is always ready and committed to bring awareness about higher education among the girls. For this, during the classroom teaching, the teachers take cognizance of the interests and problems of the girl child. Efforts have been made to ensure their participation in various ancillary activities along with teaching.
Continuous efforts are made by the college to increase the participation of girl students in the field of higher education and to provide employment opportunities. In rural areas, not all girl students get the facility of regular admission, in such a situation, along with the admitted girl students, the facility of sitting in the class is provided to the girl students at the college level. So that they are not deprived of the benefits of higher education.
The efforts made by the college for the education of girls have yielded positive results. Starting with the admission of 149 girl students in 2013, it has increased to more than 200 in the last five years and the results of the girl students have also been excellent.
Being located in rural area, poverty and lack of proper resources is a challenging problem in higher education of girl students. Lack of teachers on the college level and lack of other resources in the area are important reasons. There is a lack of awareness about the education of girls in rural areas, which the college is constantly trying to overcome.
The Govt. College Fasterpur is located in rural region where most of students come from rural family. Most of this family has worsened economic condition, belief in witchcraft, enchantment and illiterate. Therefore college organizes health care programme for the staff and students of the college. In this regard the college invited the medical professtionals from district hospitals to the college for fulfillment of following objective:
The college has been taking serious note on health and hygiene related issues of the students. In this context free medical care camp for sickle cell, organized in the college premises with collaboration with District Hospital. In this camp more than hundreds of students get benefitted by free health checkup and free medicines. Moreover college organized when and how wash your hand gives the training to students and sensitize to students disease related to Hepatitis and providing albendazole tablets.
The college believes good practices should be kept by everyone and as all know health is wealth. A sick nation cannot build a strong society and nation. As we already stated most of our students from rural family they have strong belief in witchcraft and enchantment. Besides this when people suffering from water born disease like Jaundice, Thyphoid then they visit to witchcraft and enchantment center. There is many related story prevalent in this region. The college wants to change this thought. Thus college spreading the awareness on health issue by organizing such events at institution level.
As the college spreading the awareness and providing the platform for its students to free health checkup. So students and staff were very much obliged for the health related programs organized by the college.
As this region has rural background. Availability of specialist doctors like ophthalmology, gynecology, medicine etc is in very short supply. This practice is not supported by any governmental and non- governmental organization. So we have fund crunch.
