The scheme, called Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya, has been launched by the Government of India to provide education to the under-privileged girls, predominantly of Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Other Backward Classes and other minority groups of Tripura.
Of the seven schools opened under the scheme one is located at Dhamcherra, an educationally backward block in the state.
It has 50 students on its rolls.
Under the scheme, which forms part of ´Education for All´ initiative, the students are provided with free school uniforms, books, food and lodging.
Alongside, the girls are taught the basics in computer knowledge to enable them to keep pace with the modern trends.
Facilities to play games like volleyball; handball, kho-kho, carrom and chess also exist.
Regular Yoga classes are an additional bonanza for balanced psychophysical development.
The girls are also trained in various vocational skills to make them self-relient.
Student Sagarika Reang  said that she has benefited a lot.
The government has sanctioned 2,573 schools and nearly 1.96 lakh girls have enrolled themselves.
