Hi Folks,
In Chittoor (37 schools), we have not given the stitching charges to the students and managed to get them stitched through school staff/donors/students. I have visited 15 schools during my visit and here are the pictures http://picasaweb.google.com/MaaSpandana/GiriSVisitToSpandanaSchoolsInChittoor2009
We would like to give "Study Material" for all High Schools which would help the 10th class students to prepare well for public exams. Each set costs 90Rs and I would like to give 10 sets to each school. So, the total is 25 High Schools X 10= 250 sets X 90 Rs = 22,500/-
There are "All India Merit Scholarship" exams for 8th pass out candidates which would help them to get 6000 Rs/ year for 4 years. That is purely based on their scoring in the exam. The qualification is 8th class marks ( Min 50/55%). There is no books or coaching for this, I am proposing to hire 4-5 teachers for FREE coaching for the students for 4-5 months (only weekends) to guide and train the students to secure the merit scholarship. In each school I got to know there are 2-4 students who got these scholarships. By training /guidance, I am sure each school can get atleast 6-8 students. This is needed next year onwards but I need to plan from January 2010. Cost of this project: 2000 Rs/month X 4 teachers X 4 months = 32000 INR
02 schools requested for plates for Mid day Meals. Each costing 80Rs. Total= 2 scools X 100 plates X 80 Rs=16000 Rs.
02 schools requested for Uniforms for participating in sports copetition. Each school needs 22 sets each costing 150 Rs. Total= 2 schools X 22 sets X 150 Rs= 6600 Rs.
02 schools requested for basic laboratory material which would cost around 5000 Rs. Total = 2 schools X 5000 Rs.= 10,000 Rs.
AP Govt have a program to support 10th class passouts for 6 years of their education in IIIT. All expenses for non OC students is taken care by Govt. OC students need to pay the hostel fee which is taken care by the banks in the IIT campuses. Each student who get selected for IIIT will get a laptop, seperate room, free books, world-class training and placement. The selection criteria for this is purely on toppers in 10th class in each caste. ( 1girl and boy from OC, BC, SC/ST). Total of 6 students from each mandal. I am not sure what kind of help we can extend to this program.
Thanks
