The very 1st assembly...


One of the classes, very airy and large. Should turn out to be great.


The building is up, it needs to be finished. Another 20 days, I am told!!


Nursery kids with their teacher.


Mr. Rajesh Singh - the Principal (black collar) and Mr. Ram Karan - the Adminstrator.


Hyme time... but very distracted with the cameraman (which was me)


Here is my 1st colour experience with a Mango.


Class 2nd students : trying to draw their family members.


These are kids in the 1st standard... they were thrilled to have their own furniture.


Thats our kids in the nursery class... having a time of their life.

The soft launch of Adharshila and fresh pics

I just came back after a four day stay at Kohra and I have got great news.

1. The school has started and 57 students in the three classes have already started to attend. The adminstrator is confident of taking the number of students to the targetted 120 by July, which is when the school would be fully operational.

I met the kids and they were thrilled to have new furniture, computers, toys and books. Each and every kid that I spoke to was looking forward to his next day in school. Check out the pitcures.

2. The school building is nearing completion and the classroooms are looking large and airy.

3. The staff (at least 3 of the 4) are good and comparable to the bigger schools. So we are on the right track.

11th of April 2005, our special day.

The 11th of April, 2005 was the 1st day in the existance of Adharshila. The day started with paryers which were attended by the new students of Adharshila. The students were excited about being part of the experience of Adharshila and some of them (the nursery students) have started their education from Adharshila.

The brightly coloured furniture, the audio visual equipment and the teaching aids have all added to the new experience for the students.

The teachers and villagers have shown a lot of excitement as well. For everyone, this day saw the realisation of dream of years.

Its ON !!

The construction for the project and final finishing still taking about 20 days longer than anticipated. However, to ensure that we do not miss out on the acedemic session, a solution was suggested by the Gram Panchayat.

The Panchayat Bhawan would function as interm school till the project site is complete.

The hired teachers have already started attending school and preparing for the opening. The opening with students coming in would happen on the 10th of the month. 10th of April 2005 would be the founders day.
