aim of providing the best schools for rural India, with the aim of providing the

garden to secondary level.
The school building will have all the facilities on par with international schools,
would be constructed using latest building technologies.
The school buildings will come up in matter of days rather than in months and
this will create a major impact In the local community who are used to lethargic
developmental activities in the past.

The pilot
The need for the pilot was felt when we discussed about this project with our team and volunteers.
The pilot will establish the accuracy of various assumptions with which we are working with.
The Survey:
The extensive survey of the Vandavasi Block in Thiruvannamalai district, reinforced our belief that there is a compelling reason for us to establish the high end schools in rural India.
The survey concluded that the people in this area is willing to send their children to the school in spite of the need for them to work.
We completed the survey of 212 villages in this block, which consisted of door to door survey and visit to all the schools in the villages to understand the current state of the infrastructure
