Turning a local school around

Turning a local school around

The government school in Gularia faced a challenge in deficient school infrastructure. Animals roamed the school grounds; school property was at risk of damage and theft. This resulted in students absenting themselves, coupled with declining enrolments as parents transferred their children to private schools.

Balrampur Foundation approached the school in 2021 with the offer to improve its infrastructure. The Company, through Balrampur Foundation, renovated classrooms, wiring, fans, floors and boundary wall. The provision of benches, desks, tables, chairs, and cupboard enhanced the learning environment, reducing the dropout rate. A well-equipped playground was also created for the holistic development of children. Student turnout has begun to increase; the school is beginning to turn around into an academic hub.
