Khomarpada School Review and KP Training on Sewing Machine

The academic session ended much before the scheduled time this year due to drought and the training of the teachers for the parliament election. We decided to focus on inducting new schools and community related work.Khomarpada, which is on the west of Vikramgadh, was identified as one of the schools, which we want to cover under our NGO activities. It is a small school with ordinary infrastructure. However, the teacher has taken lot of effort to improve the vegetation not only in the school but even at the village level.

We would use the expertise of the teachers to improve vegetation across the schools.
