As part of its mission to remove barriers to girls’ education and promote equal learning opportunities, Thar Education Alliance, in collaboration with Indigo Textiles, launched the Pedaling Towards Education initiative at Government High School Malanhore Veena. Under this impactful project, 81 bicycles were distributed to school-going girls, many of whom travel long distances each day to access education. These bicycles have significantly improved their mobility, safety, and confidence, helping ensure regular attendance and reducing dropout rates.
In a further effort to uplift educational infrastructure, the project also established a fully equipped Science Laboratory at the school. This lab creates an engaging and hands-on learning environment, encouraging girls to explore the world of science and technology—fields where female participation remains limited in rural communities.
Recognizing the broader need for women’s empowerment in the village, the project also launched a Vocational Training Center for local women. This center provides skill-based training opportunities aimed at enhancing economic independence, self-reliance, and dignity for women in Malanhore Veena.
