Students and parents alike are fascinated by the unique design of the government senior secondary school in Sahodi village, Alwar district, which has a selfie station, a water tank fashioned like a bottle, and drawings of books and pencils on the walls. The school building’s facelift is also evident in the student enrollment, which has more than doubled in just two years, as well as in the improvement of the learning environment, discipline, and cleanliness. And not only one school is affected. Many government schools in Rajasthan have carved out a niche with their distinctive designs thanks to donations from donors and assistance from other organisations besides the state, sparking curiosity among kids and increasing enrollment.
“When I took over, the school building was not in a good condition,” said Kiran, the principal of the government senior secondary school in Sahodi village. One of the main draws is how charming the architecture is. Because of this, she explained, “the walls are nicely painted, and the water tank has been given a bottle shape. There is a selfie station at the school. The principal claimed that by giving kids the wings of education, it draws them in and motivates them to soar. The Sahgah Foundation invested Rs 40 lakh in the school’s refurbishment, and the locals contributed as well. “The enrollment has grown considerably. It’s almost doubled in size. The facelift has helped in creating an environment of learning, discipline, and cleanliness. The school was awarded at the state-level in cleanliness on August 5 this year,” she said.
The district’s other schools have all undergone renovations, giving them distinctive looks. “One school has blue-painted classrooms that resemble railroad compartments. There have been great changes in terms of discipline and cleanliness, as well as a large increase in student enrollment, which is reflected in studies “Engineer for the education department assigned to Alwar, Rajesh Lavaniya, told PTI. Other districts, such Dholpur, Chittorgarh, and Pali, are following such innovative concepts in addition to Alwar. Several schools have painted their classrooms to resemble trains, buses, and ships. On the walls and staircases, there are motivational sayings and teaching techniques.
