Educational Adoption Scheme (EAS):
The word
Adoption means to us developing the all round
personalities of the students under MESCO's care.
This scheme was started with a view to providing
children with stationery, fees, uniforms besides
the textbooks. Ultimately it was decided that only
students from poor families who score 70% marks
and above at the annual examination at any level
beyond Std. VII would be inducted. For continuing
on this scheme the child has to show
consistent good academic performance. The students
are selected on the basis of home visits,
interviews with students and parents. Personal
data is updated annually. This scheme has been in
existence for the last 31 years. Last year we had
257 students on the roll, the average cost of a
student works to Rs. 10,000/- per year for an
academic year. Details of ex-EAS students over the
last 20 years is as under:
