Construction of ST girls hostel for those belonging to tribal’s and underprivileged communities/ Skill development training & programme
Department
Waymark Welfare Society
Project Details
Over the years, it has been established that it is important to ensure availability of basic amenities in schools for improving the overall learning ability of children, rather than merely improving quality of teaching. There are 37 Govt. Primary Schools, 51 Govt. Middle Schools, 8 Govt. High Schools, and 3 Govt Higher Secondary Schools and 66 unaided Schools in Chumoukedima District. Although, schools had grid electricity connections, in which only office rooms had lights and fans. Some schools were not paying electricity charges due to lack of funds. As a result, children as well as the teachers stay in very uncomfortable classroom environments both in summers due to the hot weathers as there are no fans installed in the schools, and also in winters due to lack of lighting facility when the opaque wooden window shutters have to be kept closed due to cold. Besides cutting planet-heating greenhouse gas emissions and providing a steady power supply, the switch to solar from the conventional electricity supply has also substantially reduced the schools' energy bills. This initiative will give an opportunity to the children to realize the potential of solar energy.
