It seems strange when we
hear about schools on the footpaths; but there are some schools running
successfully this way, educating the kids of poor families. One such school is
‘Alpha school’, located near Jubilee Hills. The school caters to the
underprivileged children with primary school education for free of cost.
Parents of these children work as maids in the nearby bungalows and some work
as laborers at construction sites.
The school has no pucca roof but a small shed on the footpath to shelter the kids from sun and rain.
The school emerged from the thought of a woman, Ms.Shoba Rani. The school is running successfully with good number of students and teachers for 12 long years.
An age old saying, “Helping
hands are better than praying lips”; truly implemented by Ms.Shoba Rani. Daily we pass by so
many kids on the roadside, feel pity for them or blame the government, but
hardly think of any instant solution. This is a
live example to solve things in possible ways…
