Veda Sanskruta Pathasala, Nellore – Classrooms Construction

Every project that we take up is genuine and verified. However, some among them are more closer to heart. To support govt. schools is one such cause. 

As a society, it is our responsibility to support educational institutions that are established long ago and have been successful in teaching generations of students. The institutions which are privately run with govt. support and do not seek any funds. It is even more significant if Sanskrit is taught in schools not for marks or as an optional subject but as one of the main subjects and from third standard onwards. 

Veda Sanskruta Pathasala in Mulapet, Nellore, Andhrapradesh is one such institution with a large space and big classrooms.

For example, toilet blocks for high school and primary school children, renovation of temple are done by old students.

Current Status: All the classrooms are dilapidated and need a reconstruction.

Proposal: Construction of two classrooms and a staff room 

(As we, TMAD, do not have a budget of 60L or more to renovate school with new classrooms, thought of completing a dining hall as it is a pressing need for them.)
