Hyderabad, Telangana, India | 14th November 2019: Bangaru Talli Charitable Trust (BTCT), a sister concern of Building Blocks Group has successfully completed 10% of its first phase off the 100 government schools adopted to provide quality education to students, especially girl child. The revamp process of these schools is in progress & full swing. It has almost completed works in its first phase schools and approaching the remaining ones to provide facilities similar to private schools.
Since the last couple of years, BBG Bangaru Thalli Charitable Trust has been continuously working towards the development of government schools not just as CSR but as its core business purpose for the greater good. As part of this programme, BBG BTCT has been providing the basic amenities required for better learning as well as introducing a child-friendly environment in the schools. The trust targets to empower over 20,000 girl children in over 100 government schools by the end of this academic year.
As part of that, it has successfully completed the first 10% and fast progressing in completing the balance at the earliest. By providing the required support, BBG BTCT will play a key role in the development of education in the public sector, and the programme mainly focuses on girl child education and their overall development. With this, BBG BTCT wishes to stress on the fact that girl child empowerment is family empowerment and the society should encourage this more. The trust strongly believes that government schools should be empowered to take up integrated learning and the children and their families must give priority to studying in government schools.
The trust aims to increase the enrolment of students in the government schools, reduce the school dropout rate, increase attendance rate, promote girl child education and their overall development by providing infrastructure, health and nutritional care, awareness on life skills and career guidance, through School Adoption Programme. Around 20,000 girl children will be benefitted in this academic year and, the facilities are accessible to over 15,000 families from 40 villages to get quality education from government schools.
The trust believes that through this they will not only encourage families to send their girls to schools but, they also see the probability to grab the attention of the parents who send their children to private institutions when they discover the availability of highly qualified teachers and great facilities in government schools. It will be economically beneficial for them to send their kids to government schools instead of private schools for similar facilities.
The trust is trying to revamp the schools so that the availability of good facilities without any disturbance, help students grasp the best information taught by their teachers. With the clean and hygienic surroundings, the students would be disease-free and will be able to maintain the attendance without missing out on the important classes. The health and nutritional awareness, balanced diet and MHM management for girl child will allow them to become physically and mentally strong. The facilities will bring them equal opportunities and allow them to compete with boys in the contemporary world, without any hindrance.
BBG BTCT has been taking up activities to improve the infrastructure and providing basic amenities in its adopted schools UPS Kammadanam, ZPHS Vityal, ZPHS Burgula and ZPHS Raikal & many more such ones in its neighbourhood.
