School is a temple of learning. But the average government educational institution in India is likely to be a dingy place without any access to electricity, toilets and other basic facilities.
True, this is a kind of common scenario in rural India, where 70% of the country’s population resides. Though our government has near resolved the issue of access to schools and enrolment through its initiative called Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, it is now time to face the challenge of improving facilities for education.
Here, we present a case of one of such schools located in the village Durgamcheru of Mominpet mandal, Rangareddy district.
How did we arrive at the School?
Durgamcheru is one of the deprived villages identified by the ‘Society for Eliminating Rural Poverty’(SERP).
SERP is a state level public organization established to carry out programmes on improvement of livelihoods of rural people in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states.
What do we notice?
The school constitutes I - V classes with a total of 70 students and 3 teachers. The students are keen to learn, the teachers are enthusiastic, and yet there’s something crucial that’s missing — the basic infrastructure
Five Classes of Students are confined to three classrooms. One Classroom - two groups of students and one single teacher is an everyday occurrence in the school
Students are made to sit on floor for the complete class hours. They remain deprived of basic facilities like drinking water, fans, lights, water supply to their toilets etc.
How will your donation be used?
Providing Benches: Sitting on mats and learn would be fine during normal days. But, during rainy days it is really difficult for the students to sit on the wet floor. The teachers in the school have opined that provision of benches would help in making classrooms comfortable for learning.
School Resources: Providing benches set as a major objective, we are also planning to provide certain useful items to the school such as Stationery, Books and Playing equipment.
