The school building, which was in ruins, now has six rooms, including four classrooms and one office.
A group of friends, some of them civil servants and some Non-Resident Indians, pooled Rs 18 lakh to revitalise a long-neglected government school that languished in a dilapidated state for over 15 years in Rajasthan's Alwar district.
Motivated by their shared belief in the power of education and desire to improve the lives of future generations in their district, they contributed voluntarily for the renovation and construction efforts which took two years to complete.
The rebuilt Government Primary School, located in Dalalpura village of Alwar, was inaugurated on Sunday by local public representatives at an event attended by several dignitaries.
For the school that suffered years of neglect and disrepair, with its ceiling leaking, walls crumbling and facilities non-existent, the transformation has been breathtaking. The leaking roofs have been replaced, the crumbling walls rebuilt, and modern basic facilities made available. The school exudes an air of vibrancy with classrooms equipped with state-of-the-art technical facilities and comfortable furniture. It also now boasts of abundance of educational material.
