Karnataka School Adoption Project

Filed under: KA-School Adoption Project — indiasudar @ 11:29 am

Dear friends, 

One of “India Sudar – Mission 2008″’s plan was to adopt 10 Govt schools (90% rural) in Karnataka and provide them with basic educational material, especially notebooks. We have conducted detailed survey of backward/rural segments of Chikkaballapur and Tumkur districts in the recent past. The survey reports are available at http://indiasudar.wordpress.com/category/ka-chikkarogudoo/ and http://indiasudar.wordpress.com/category/ka-tumkur-district/.
It may be worth recalling here we have distributed notebooks/stationeries and conduct taluk level awareness programs in Gowribidanur taluk of Chikkaballapur dst. These activities have met with considerable success and have been highly appreciated by the beneficiaries (underprivileged students), local community folk and the education department officials.

In an effort to extend IS reach, we are planning similar (if not, more) activities in the above mentioned places. At present, we are appealing for donations and sponsorship for the following:
Educational requirements: We intend to provide the “critically necessary” number of notebooks and stationaries for each kid from the identified schools catering to elementary education
Increase awareness: Towards this, as a start, we plan to get a newspaper subscription and 3 maps in the identified schools.

In nutshell the project brief :
- Required funding: Rs. 39669
- No of beneficiaries: 1011 underprivileged kids spread across 8 schools in 2 districts(1 std to 8 std)
- What are we giving:
    * 100 page   1932
    * 200 page   1600
    * G.box         345
    * Pencil-kit    1011

The details of the identified schools and exact requirements per kid in each school is available in the attached spreadsheet. We earnestly request you to support this cause for promoting and elevating education in rural segments. Since the schools have commenced on 30th May, it is imperative that we execute and complete the project at the earliest.

India Sudar takes immense pride in motivating those 1000+ kids to their education more seriously ! As ever we request your support – “financially & morally” !!
