ImpactImpact
“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 Panchayat
ImpactImpact“ I find it difficult to express the overwhelming joy in being involved in a project of such a nature. We struck a cordial relationship with the village community and were highly inspired by the quality of input of the Anandshala team”
“We are thankful to the Anandshala team for providing us the direction and inspiring us to be educators”
