Abstract

 Education plays pivotal role in shaping the attitudes of the society and in development of the Socio-economic & cultural aspect of any nation. In India the modern education system was introduced by the Britain in the year 1830 by Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay. It is the field which requires continuous evaluation and researches to keep it updated so that the maximum employment can be generated as well as the values can be imparted to the students. In current time the private owned schools do a lot of activities to guide its student for prosperous career but it is not similar in the government run schools. Also, the recent case of violence in the school premises by the adolescents is a major challenge before the state.  So recognizing the problem, an initiative is taken in the Fatehabad district of Haryana on the Pilot basis called “Jagruk Vidyarthi” which aims at enhancing the student’s awareness in the government run schools by providing counseling, motivation and career guidance. The present study is an effort to understand the pilot project, its benefit to the students across the district and to check whether the project can be up scaled to the all the government schools across Haryana. The conclusions are drawn after conducting FGDs at the school level, newspaper articles of the project and after conducting interviews with the different stakeholders.
