A longtime Asha volunteer, Shankar Srinivas, visited the school in September 1999 and his findings on that occasion were cause for some unease. The motivation
behind the establishment of the school was suspect, evidently being at least in part, merely to act as a foil to the increasing number of missionary schools in the area.
Moreover, some members of the managing committee of the school appeared to be driven more by feelings of the personal glory that would accrue to them by
association with a large school, rather than by a desire to meet the needs of the local community.

At that time, being reluctant to pass judgement on motivations, Asha decided to continue its support to BGM, reasoning that whatever the motivations, the ends were for the good of the local community. However, it now appears that even the ends of the local community are not being served.
