It was observed that there was an urgent need to reach the STs, socially and educationally disadvantaged classes, and other culturally, economically, geographically weaker sections of the society, as the literacy rate among these groups, particularly among girl-child is very low. In view of the need to accelerate the pace and progress of secondary education, especially in tribal/ rural conglomeration, Uttarakhand State Open School (USOS) proposed to collaborate with the State of Uttarakhand Based on the experience gained over the period, it may spread its wings to similar pockets in other States.
