School Nurturing

The new initiative by the education dept - the school nurturing program, has influenced me and am planning to do my bit for the same.

I will list the website address: http://www.schooleducation.kar.nic.in/schoolnurturing.htm, so that one can have all the details that they would need and would save me the time and effort to replicate the same here.

I am thinking of supporting and nuturing (to the extent possible, monetarily) a school in my native place, where my dad studied. Its a village called Shampur, in Gowribidanur Taluk and Chikkaballapura district. This is a lower primary school with around 44 kids studying upto class 5th. I never knew that there was a school in my village until now, the reason being that I havent visited my village for almost 14 years now. There are multiple requirements for the school, repairs for the 2 rooms (only 2 rooms available), desks, almarahs, science kit, electricity (dont know how I would be able to contribute to this) and computers. I would not be able to contribute towards electricity and computers, but would definitely think on desks and almarah.

I feel it is a very noble cause and that government / education dept has done a commendable job by coming forward to seek support from individuals and private bodies, which could put our govt run schools in a much better light and can expect facilities which other children from the urban areas enjoy (atleast to an extent).

I would start off with a small support and would continue to do so until I have strength, maybe for the same school or a different one or couple of them. I pray to God to give me the strength and generosity to to go ahead with what I have thought and continue to do so, in the future.
