The small village Gokul is situated in North Karnataka near Hubli. The village holds plenty of land that is used mainly for farming and is surrounded by industries that belong to the city, Hubli. The school ‘Shree Guru Gorakanath’ was established by Mr. Durgappa Madhurkar in 1982. Primary education was granted to students of poor families in this residential school, initially. With its basic strong infrastructure it has attracted a lot more of underprivileged children and eventually the student mass has increased immensely over the years. At present, they have 469 kids who belong to the 1st to 7th grade, of which 422 of them are residents of the school. They also host 228 high school students and wish to embark on an Industrial Technical Institute (ITI) section in the near future.
Minimum support has been received from the State government and freelance donations (eg., blankets for resident students) while the major funding is provided by the industrialist himself. No charge is attributed to any of the parents or guardians.
