Classrooms Still Taking Shape

Program:

Across several villages in Karnataka and Odisha, the Foundation has been building a network of model education infrastructure rather than concentrating on a single flagship site. Anthapur alone carries three separate facilities: a model government school, a model public library and a model Anganwadi. Sulthanpur has both a model school and a model Anganwadi. The remaining villages each have their own model government school. Alongside the physical builds, we have facilitated a teacher support programme, Science Centres with physics demonstration equipment, Audiovisual Rooms with a projector setup and first aid stations.

The libraries are fully stocked and in active use, not just built and left standing; the Anganwadi centres carry nutrition charts and early-learning material alongside play equipment; the classrooms themselves are painted, mapped and clearly lived in, not newly built and empty. Together, these sites describe the kind of saturated, sustained local presence Jharsuguda and Vijayanagar already show elsewhere in this portfolio, applied here specifically to early childhood and school-level education.
