BENGALURU (India CSR): element14 has reaffirmed its commitment to making a positive impact in local communities by spearheading an initiative to enhance school facilities in rural Karnataka, India.
Partnering with 13 government schools in Chitradurga, Vijaypura and Davangere, element14 has addressed infrastructure challenges to provide better educational environment for over 4000 students. The following infrastructure enhancements and amenities have been provided to facilitate a conducive learning environment:
Smart Classrooms
element14 enabled the setup of state-of-the-art smart classrooms, equipped with all the necessary infrastructure to conduct interactive and technology-driven learning sessions.
Washrooms and Toilets
Recognizing the need for improved sanitation facilities, element14 funded the construction of separate washrooms and toilets for boys and girls in schools where these amenities were lacking.
Painting and Repair Work
The element14 team undertook extensive painting and repair work in three schools, rejuvenating the learning spaces and creating a vibrant atmosphere for students.
Safe Drinking Water
To ensure access to clean and safe drinking water, element14 installed advanced Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants within the schools.
Basic Amenities
Additionally, element14 supplied desks, educational aids, learning models and other essential amenities to enhance the overall learning experience for students.
Successful Execution
The successful execution of this initiative was made possible through the invaluable support of Block Education officers, who recognized the significance of such initiatives in nurturing the future generations of Karnataka. The Department of Education commended element14 for its dedicated efforts in improving school infrastructure.
A positive shift in parents’ attitudes
Srikanth KS, Headmaster at Challakere School, Chitradurga, Karnataka and Best Teacher, State Awardee stated, “With the provision of safe and separate washrooms, improved infrastructure, and essential amenities, we have witnessed a positive shift in parents’ attitudes, as they feel more encouraged to send their children to school, knowing that their needs are being met and their education is valued. element14’s commitment to creating a conducive learning environment has not only impacted our students but has also strengthened the bond between our school and the community we serve.”
Commitment beyond providing basic infrastructure
“By enhancing school facilities and creating an engaging atmosphere, we are dedicated to empower students and nurture their innate curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Our commitment goes beyond providing basic infrastructure; we aim to create schools that children willingly come to, where education becomes a joyful and transformative experience,” said Vinesh Pulse, Country Head, Element14
