The help desk will have a 24-hour toll-free number. Titled ‘Thangu’, the help desk project is pioneered and implemented by the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) in association with the Mahila Samakhya Society. The Department for Education has given nod for the project, which shall cover students from Standard V to Standard VIII. A ten-day online and offline training for teachers, regarding strength-based pedagogy and counselling techniques, will be conducted. In the first phase of the programme schools with 200 girls or more will be provided with the service.
