A) Girls’ Education Program
In 2014, DHRUBA has been operating 12 Pre-Primary Schools t named DHRUBA SCHOOL BARI ( bari means house). In those schools there are more than 1000 little boys and girls study. Mostly the schools are situated in the Dalit villages where the children can’t go to the Govt. schools and their communication is difficult.
The main objective of the pre-primary school is to make a habit of the villages children to go to school and to learn to go to Govt. schools.
B) Dalit Child Education Program
In 2014, DHRUBA is working in 19 villages where more than 750 girls are getting help for their education directly and indirectly. In our 12 learning centers and 7 houses, the girls use to come and sit with our tutors for the tuition. From class five to class seven most of the girls come to the tutors and from class eight to BA, they use to go to other private tutors. Most of the girls maintain the communication with the tutors and they get standard education with their current syllabus. We help them with books and learning materials.
C) Basic Health Service
Health care or healthcare is the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in human beings. Health care is delivered by practitioners in allied health, dentistry, midwifery (obstetrics), medicine, nursing, optometry, pharmacy, psychology and other health professions. It refers to the work done in providing primary care, secondary care, and tertiary care, as well as in public health.
Access to health care varies across countries, groups, and individuals, largely influenced by social and economic conditions as well as the health policies in place. Countries and jurisdictions have different policies and plans in relation to the personal and population-based health care goals within their societies. Health care systems are organizations established to meet the health needs of target populations. Their exact configuration varies between national and subnational entities. In some countries and jurisdictions, health care planning is distributed among market participants, whereas in others, planning occurs more centrally among governments or other coordinating bodies. In all cases, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a well-functioning health care system requires a robust financing mechanism; a well-trained and adequately-paid workforce; reliable information on which to base decisions and policies; and well maintained health facilities and logistics to deliver quality medicines and technologies.[1]
D) Dalit Women &Livelihood
The “Dalit Alternate Livelihood” programme started on October 23, 2014. One of his uncles, Abdus Salam, who has been awarded the Ekushey Padak for his contribution in the language movement, came forward to help him. With Abdus Salam’s, financial aid GBF is currently providing sewing training to eight Dalit women in Natore. “Our goal is simple. We want to help Dalit community members to enter different job sectors, and we provide the required training and business setup consultancy.” Nuheen is trying to build an income model for the Dalit women. He believes that only economic independence can change their situation and can print a firm stand in the society. He says, “I believe in working with a community first, understanding their problems, and then developing localised solutions to those problems. Grand development theories just don’t work here.”
The first component of the model is to establish a quality school in the colony. Well educated, hygiene conscious students can send a big message to the mainstream society and at the same time it will help change people’s perceptions, Nuheen believes. A proud young man, Nuheen’s eyes glitter while sharing the success of his Dalit students, “Our students have already won prizes in district level school competitions for a stage performance. I believe they can go even farther if we extend our support.”
The Dalit Alternate Livelihood programme will help break the notion that Dalits only have to sweep and clean. GBF’s other projects are in the pipeline; these will address issues such as community hygiene, beautification of the colony and so on.
E) Training & Awarenss for the Dalit
Every month there is parents meeting in our working areas. Most of the mothers attend in our monthly parents meeting and try to understand the usefulness of education. What the mothers don’t understand our staffs try to make them aware about their children education and their family maintenance. Moreover, when we arrange the meeting, there present the other caste of people and a few good people and they also try to make them understand about their situation in the society and they can share themselves with us very cordially.
The main objective of this issue is to make aware the parents about their children’s future development and the same time how their family should know about the usefulness of education.
In each of the monthly girls gathering, DHRUBA tries to make aware to our girls about education, personal hygienic, culture and self sharing with others. We try to hire the elite person, the Govt. Officials, and the Professionals to show our girls so that they can make a dream. Our plan is not to make them aware about their dream but also to become practically.
The main motto of this girls’ gathering is to make a good understanding among all the girls from different villages. The girls can share their views and learn the girls’ capability.
F) Role of Media for the Dalit
G) Dalit & Human Rights Program

The main motto of this girls’ gathering is to make a good understanding among all the girls from different villages. The girls can share their views and learn the girls’ capability.
H) Untouchability & Dalit Community
DHRUBA believes that girls can play a vital role in the society. DHRUBA thinks the girls should be equal position as the boys for education and the both should be prepared for the development side of a country. In the developed country it is shown that the male and female both need to be educated. In comparison with the boys , it is easy measured that the girls are little back warded. So the girls need safe place to continue higher education.
The main objective of the girls’ safe home is to make a tradition that the dalit community should study at their level best and to be aware about higher education.
