Kakrana school

 I visited the school in November 2016 with Rahul, his wife Subhadra and Swapan Bhattacharjee. I have been contributing a bit and hope to continue.

RANI KAJAL JEEVAN SHALA IS GETTING A NEW LIFE FROM THIS ACADEMIC YEAR

Rahul has taken over the administration and development plans, implementing the plans in full earnest . This video is a record  of the development of a sports ground on the top of a hillock within the campus of Rani Kajal Jeevan Shala in Kakrana village  of Alirajpur district in Madhya Pradesh. This is an Adiwashi village, the school is residential. This is vacation time, only teachers are present in their quarters in the campus now.

The plan, as Rahul tells, is to make the school self sufficient within three years.

It means, the water which normally flows downhill in rain will have to be arrested by a series of 'Bandhs'. Six bandhs are already placed along the slop of the hill. It will allow the plain land to be used for growing vegetables through out the year. The other aspect is the grains would be collected from all the students for their consumption throughout the academic year. 

This video is a record of the development till 9th May 2022, with wire fencing and flattening the top of the hill to construct a sports complex and building a computer center for internet facility. On the ground level there is no internet signal available. The magnificent view  on all sides is evident in this video even in the height of summer 43 C is the maximum temperature today.
