We arrived at the school and were greeted with a loud good morning by the children and their teachers. Onee Bhaumik, the Principal and her band of dedicated teachers were so happy to see us and to receive the exercise books for the children. Parivaar has given this school their Exercise books for the whole year.

We got to see their work and specially their drawings as it was the drawing class. Its amazing the talent these young ones have and were proud to show us their books. These poor children come from very low income group families but are doing a wonderful job by studying here and since this school is only from KG to Class II, they are helped with admission into a senior school after this. In fact Onee Bhaumk the Principal told us that they were proud that 8 students who passed out from this small school have done their Class X Boards this year.
