Two brothers from Rajasthan are showing that great schools don’t only belong in big cities. Meghraj and Ajit Dhakad, who grew up in Sisoda village, have turned their old government school into a top-quality institution.
They donated Rs 15 crore of their own money to rebuild the Kankubai-Sohanlal Dhakad Government Senior Secondary School. Now, the school has a modern three-storey building with smart classrooms, science and computer labs, digital learning tools, and large playgrounds.
Today, the school has 40 classrooms, a big library, and a clean, green, and safe campus. Children in the village now have all the facilities they once had to move out of the village to find.
A happy villager told Asianet News, “Now, we won’t need to send our children away. We never imagined a school like this in our village.”
This story shows how powerful it can be when former students give back. They not only honour where they came from, but also help build a better future for many others.
