Work with govt.

Make sure govt money is spent in right way

Particiapte in each school and support with asha money to make sure we get best schools

This gives us oppurtunity to enter remote areas in UP and work with girls education who dropped out.

We dont have to worry about running expenditure

Gives scope to work with stable system which has long term impact on ground

If we spend the money in the begning we make sure money of asha and govt is spent in most efficient way
