St. Xavier's University Launches English Camp in Rural Area
Imagine a school helping kids learn English in a fun way!
St Xavier's University did just that for students in a small town.
They ran a special camp from June 8 to June 14, 2025, where kids learned how to speak better English.
Teachers and students from the university came to help.
They taught the kids how to talk and feel confident.
The university also gives the village a library and computer center.
Because the camp went well, they're planning to do more camps like this in other places!
It's like they're bringing school to the kids, just like a famous person once said.
St Xavier’s University, Kolkata, held an English language camp for students at Uttarayan Primary School.
The camp took place in Gobardanga, North 24 Parganas, from June 8 to June 14, 2025.
The initiative aimed to improve spoken English and communication skills for rural students.
The university plans to replicate the program in other rural areas.
The camp is part of the university's broader rural outreach efforts.
