Project Vision

All schools in Rajasthan have their own school building, providing children with a safe and comfortable learning environment for a quality education.

Project Description

In Rajasthan, only a few schools do not have their own school building. However, due to non-availability of land for construction of buildings, 28 schools in Rajasthan are run in rented or rent-free buildings such as community centers, temples, private buildings, etc. This is an unstable situation and makes it difficult for students, teachers, and principals to feel ownership over the school.

 

By constructing a building that aligns with RTE Act norms for these 28 schools, there is significant potential to transform the learning experience of students and communities by creating ownership over the school.

 

Some of the components of this project are:-

  • Classrooms
  • Headmaster Room
  • Kitchen Shed
  • Toilet
  • Drinking Water Facility
  • Student Activity Room
  • Staff Room
  • Anganwadi Room
  • Barbed Wire Fence (cost varies per school)

Project Outcomes

28 schools in Rajasthan which lack a building will have an all-weather building available with all the requisite facilities. Current enrollment in these schools is 1014 students, all of whom will be able to study in proper school buildings once they are constructed.

 

The development of a school building will contribute to:-

●       Reduction of dropout

●       Increase in student enrollment

●       Retention of students

●       Increased student attentiveness

●       Sense of ownership by students, teachers, principals, staff, and school community

●       Improved learning levels

●       Ability for government to develop and upgrade infrastructure in the school

●       Overall increased learning experience

 

Once these schools are created, we aim to begin developing the school grounds with a playground,

Project Need

  • The 28 schools proposed to be built in this project are currently run in rented/rent-free buildings such as community centres, temples, private buildings, etc. There are chances of eviction by concerned owners.
  • Because schools without their own buildings are run in private buildings, deficit facilities can not be provided at cost of government, even when funds are available in the budget. 

Implementation Plan

Once the project is funded for Government Implementation, the following will be the deliverables on the part of the government:-

●       1st Month: Preparation of DPR/Detailed Estimate

●       2nd Month: Plinth Level

●       3rd Month: Lintel Level

●       4th Month: Roof Level

●       5th Month: Boundary Wall

●       6th Month: Other Works

 

Work will be carried out through the School Management Committee (SMC) of each school, consisting of teachers, students, public representatives, parents, etc. They will ensure transparency, quality, and cost effectiveness in construction. In addition to this, a Junior Engineer (SSA) at Block Level, Assistant Engineer (SSA) at District Level and Superintending Engineer at State Level, have been entrusted with the responsibility of technical supervision and monitoring of civil engineering works targeted to be executed by SMCs.

Project Case Study

Providing a permanent building to a school transforms the learning experience for students. The introduction or improvement of a school building is known to increase student enrollment; hence it will help to educate more children in Rajasthan.
