Adharshila - the school: February 2005

Registration Open for Admission in Nursery, 1st and 2nd.

The call out for registration in the three classes has gone out and would be on a 1st come 1st served basis with a limitation of 40 students per class and with a teacher to student ratio of 1:20. Registration would close on 20th of March 05.

Funds Collection for phase 1 - status

The collection of funds for phase 1 is going well. As on date we have just acrossed the INR 500000/- mark, with additional commitments for INR 100,000/- over the next month or so. (this is against the backdrop of a total requirement of INR 900,000/- for the 1st phase)

All the collections so far have been from friends and family with over a hundred people coming together to raise the necessary funds.

So far no funds have been generated from the FUNDING AGENCIES. We are hoping that some of them would come forward and speed up the process.

This is the land (2nd pic) the way we got it. It had to be cleaned and leveled so that construction could start. The land was earlier a waste land and used as fodder ground for animals.
