Digraj School
Purpose / Goals
The school has difficulty passing the annual government inspections because of the lack of science lab. The science lab will help students with better learning as well as passing the examination.
Project Description
Digraj school provides formal education from 8th to 10th grade. It is located in the remote backward drought affected region of Maharashtra. The school was started by the locals with their own resources to provide education to students in the surrounding area. The primary motivation behind starting the school was to reduce the drop-out rate after the 7th grade due to the long commute (25 to 30 km) to district-level high-school.
Asha is currently supporting construction of a science lab. Asha Colorado may take other improvement project in the future.
