Rotary Shantiniketan has adopted the Jyothipura Govt school which educates over 400 kids from the surrounding villages.

The pandemic has devastated the finances of many of the parents, and they really can’t afford to buy even the essential notebooks for educating their kids.

After discussions with the school teachers and the Village committee, the following is the list of items required for the students, for this academic year.

Kindly contribute and help the kids get quality education.

Eco Ganesha and Gauri Fundraiser

Celebrate Ganeshotsav with Ecological Ganesha and Gauri idols, and support Childrens’ Education at the same time.

The Eco Ganesha idol is 10 inches in height, and the Eco Gauri idol is 4 inches in height. Both are made of Clay & soil mix, mixed with seeds. No chemicals are used in the making. Minimal eco-friendly painting is applied so that it easily disintegrates when soaked in water.

Sweaters Notebooks and Waterbottles for School kids

Our club Provided essentials worth 1.2 lakhs to primary school children. Supplies included sweaters, notebooks, water bottles and also sanitization related materials.

English lessons for our Primary school kids

We had appointed an English teacher for the primary school. Kids who learnt English for the first time in their lives wrote us reports of their educational trip in their own words. We believe that it is very important to be imparting communication skills early on in school.

School Educational Trips

We sent our Jyothipura school children on an Educational day trip to Kolar to The diary there and KGF water filter. They also visited Antara Gangai, Someshwara temple, Srinivasapura kuruda malai and Muruga Malai.

The Club sponsored English teacher guided the kids to make trip reports in English. It was heart warming to listen to their excitement about the trip.

Rotary Shantiniketan Trust Formation

We registered our own trust – “Rotary Bangalore Shantiniketan Charitable Trust” to support the club in executing projects. In the long run, we should be able to get 80G exception and CSR funds, for our service projects.

Furniture donation & Internet provision to our Primary School

We donated 6 nos of teacher tables and 6 nos of steel almirahs for each class in the primary school. We also provided 2 nos of steel Almirahs for the library and an internet connection for the computer lab.

Rotary Plantation drive fundraiser for our School

We did a fundraiser plantation drive to support our Jyothipura School. Around 200 plants were contributed by PSN residents, and the funds so generated were used to fund part of the metal cupboards to keep the childrens school books and notes.

Jyothipura Primary & High School adoption

We adopted the Jyothipura Primary & High school in Jyothipura village. The primary school has 263 children and the high school has about 400 children. Our goal is to make this into a model school in the neighbourhood.

Eco Ganesha fundraiser

Every year, millions of Ganesha Idols made of POP used to be dumped into lakes, ponds and sea. This POP doesn’t break down easily, and it just pollutes the environment. Our ECO Ganesha is made of soil, clay and seeds. After Ganeshotsav, pouring water on the idol causes the seeds to germinate and beautiful flower plants to grow. This was our first project to raise funds for Education of children. Thanks to the residents of PSN, this was a super successful drive, and we sold off all our inventory much before Ganeshotsav.
