Aahwahan Foundation Set Up Electricity Supply to a School with No Power Connection.

In August 2022, In Bangalore, a young NGO called Aahwahan foundation set up electric wires in government schools for underprivileged students.

Imagine if you had to go to your school and see that there are no fans for air ventilation, there are no tube lights to see properly what is written on the blackboard, and there is no power to set up water filters. It is sure that you want to tolerate this for more time and change the school. You have the power to change a school because you are privileged and have the financial power to do so but the under-privilege children who have no financial backup children who work for their living have no time and money to do it.

In India, the government schools are the only hope for these underprivileged poor children to get an education and education is the only way they can correct their financial situation. There are almost 5 lac government schools in India. All are funded by the government of India. As per the Indian government, 75% of the education budget goes for higher education and there is a huge scarcity of funds for primary school. due to this almost 80% of the government schools are not well built for confirmable education.

For example – Schools in rural areas of Bangalore not even had an electric city in them. Electric city is the necessity of the modern world after food and water. Without the power lines, there were no electric gadgets such as fans in the classroom, tube light near the blackboard, no wire for RO filters, no monitors/system for computer class, and no exhaust in the toilet which was raising unhygienic issues. These lead to a bad image of government schools parents thinking of them as a dark lifeless buildings. Due to these students are getting dropped out of school or not attending it regularly as they lose interest in attending the school and who does attendant lose their focus on studies?

Seeing the drop in attendance, NGO – Aahwahan Foundation came to the recuse. They have studied and asked students about the reason. The volunteers reached out to their parents and ask why they are not sending their kids to school. After the research, they found out that the real reason was fewer facilities in schools. The philanthropist CEO and founder of Aahwahan foundation Mr. Braja Kishore Pradhan provided the plan to restore the school and voluntaries Immediately bought up the 40 Crompton white fans for every classroom in the school. 2000 meters of insulted wires to send power to every corner of the school. 120 tube lights to brighten every area of school so that in the rainy season the blackboard is visible crystal clear. In these supplies, there were also switchboards and RO filters. All of it connected to main power gride near the school.

Providing electricity was so impactful that the attendance at the school increased 4 times and never go less till this date. it has been praised by the CM of Bangalore and spread the awareness all over India to support government schools if you want a better future for India which is only possible if we uplift financially families

Similar to this good deed, the Aahwahan foundation has done several works, run campaigns, and provided suppliers in the field of education for poor kids. They have the ideology that for every child to have the Indian economy strong, every citizen especially young boys and girls must go through primary educated and contribute to it. Lifting under a privileged family is their ultimate goal. In recent years they have been working for Providing free food and ration during the pandemic in schools so that children are not forced to do child labor and stop their education to earn for living. This also prevented malnutrition in children which could have affected their learning abilities.

This campaign ran all over India in 46 schools which Aahwahan has adopted all over India in cities like Punjab, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Delhi, Noida, Bangalore, and orisha. Which this ratio there was also free stationery for the children which included textbooks, notebooks, pencils, a pen, an eraser, and a compass box.

Aahwahan foundation adopted 1531 girl children from all over Karnataka. Aahwahan foundation took an oath to facilitate these 1531 girls’ free education till class 12th and provide them with all necessary resources which include their education, food, and travel to respective government schools. They are building good infrastructure in school like for a school in a village they a build a road through muddy farmlands so that students and teaching staff can reach the school safely and quickly.

In most adopted government schools Aahwahan foundation has built separate, regularly sanitized toilets for girls and boys who are fully equipped with everything they need. These all measure has shown the increased number of student enrolment in government schools proving the success of the Aahwahan foundation wonder initiative toward free education.

These initiatives rise the hope in every child in India and you too be a part of helping hands by either donating to these NGOs like the Aahwahan foundation or being a volunteer and getting in the field to help them. Lets take a personal oath to help these underprivilege children so we can see a better India in the future.
