Details of the school :–
School is located at Chikkakurugodu 4 Km from a town called Gowribidhanur, Chikbellapur District, Karnataka.
– The school is a govt run school. But govt provides only text books, not the note books.
– The school headmaster Mr.Hemachandran contacted Prashant& Family with his requirements. He felt this could give more motivation for the school children to study. Most of the students are from very modest background. The headmaster is very encouraging and make sure that all kids in that village are going to school.
– The school strength is 206, from Std 1 to 7. They have 6 full time teachers. Since there is shortage of 1 teacher, some classes would be combined together.
– The school had arranged a very neat ceremony type programme for books distribution. Our IS member Ragavendra gave some good speech to inspire the students.
– For classes 8Th and above nearby town Gowribidhanur (3 Kms away) caters.
– The programme was attended by local Panchayat members and local well wishers.
Our sincere thanks to Prashant’s family members, especially his uncle and his family.The school headmaster & teacher very enthusiastically coordinated the event. After the event, Prashant’s family greeted us with great lunch!!. Thanks a lot for the feast !
Prashant to be in continuous touch with the school for guidance and any future requirement they might have.
