Adharshila - the school

On behalf of Dr Surjan Singh Memorial Foundation (SSMF), I would like to thank you for your contribution to make our mission a reality. We could not have achieved without your support. Your donation played an integral part in the fun and success of our project.

The first phase of construction of Adharshila is completed and the classes in Adharshila started from 11th April, 2005 for a month. It was a wonderful success. We took pictures on the first day of school which has been posted on the website www.adharshila.net.

We have hired teaching staff for Adharshila comprises of one Principal and three teachers. We plan to hire three more Junior teachers for the session. All our teachers are well qualified and enthusiastic about making a difference to the lives of the children.

In the first phase we have started the school with three classes from Nursery, first and second standards. The daily schedule starts with the children being picked up from their homes. The Centre-recognized curriculum is taught in English and due importance is given to the local language.
Apart from the standard English medium Centre-recognized curriculum, the school focuses on the overall personality development of the child. Special attention is given to values, health and hygiene because of the socio-economic background they come from. Sports form an important aspect of the daily curriculum. Some students like to water and take care of plants.

Children’s Development centers have been started where creative activities have been initiated. Children are involved in creative activities for over all development. Story telling, games, songs, dance and various physical exercises and sports are some of the activities children enjoy at the centers. Computer education and special English classes were started in the Center. The children were very happy to participate in the center.

The children were delighted to see the first ever computer in the village. Thank you once again for your generous support in our efforts to brighten the future of the children of Adharshila.

We would like to invite you to visit Adharshila and look at the impact of project activity. We are organizing a formal inauguration of Adharshila on 2nd July, 2005 in village Kohra, District Ghatampur, Kanpur at 1645 hrs. We would be grateful if you could take out time from your busy schedule and make yourself available for the occasion. This would enable you to experience the activities of Adharshila and also your presence would encourage the teachers and children in their new endeavour.

We value your support and generous help and hope you will continue to do so in future.

Looking forward to your confirmation
