Impact
“As a head of my village - Grampanchayat Maraghmal - I write to
express my delight for having included Maraghmal Primary school
in your Anandshala project. In this project there were components
like basic infrastructural facilities, quality improvement in teaching,
concern for environment, science promotion and integration of
villagers, teachers and students with each other. As part of these
processes, my relationship with the school has grown. This
change is due to Anandshala project. I heartily thank Anandshala
project for this positive change.” Sarpanch, Mrugmal Gram

direction and inspiring us to be educators”
