Sir,
Khatanga High School (HS) is a 60 years old Higher Secondary school situated in the remote part of JHALDA II block, Purulia. This place is a tribal area, 39 KM away from the district town.
At present 1200 students, coming from SC and ST BPL families read here. In this school there is no library and laboratory. We feel the need of the library and the Integrated laboratory for making the class teaching more effective.
We have come to know that your renowned organization extends financial support to the different schools for their betterment.
I, therefore, humbly request you kindly to provide us a grant for setting up a a library and an Integrated Laboratory in our school.
Regards,
Sincerely yours,
Debabrata Adhikary

A few months back, we granted Rs. 120,000 to Pathshala for study materials and other essentials. This is a project for children's education in villages around Dwaranda, near Bolpur. This is a joint project with Rotary Club of Calcutta Jadavpur (RID 3291). Recently, some of us (Diya Sen) have visited this "school"; above is a video taken during our visit - a conversation with the children and their teachers.
