About School

The School is located in the remote village of Ravalgundvadi in Jath Taluk, Sangli district in Maharashtra. It is situated on the border between Karnataka and Maharashtra. The School serves more than 200 children from poor families of agricultural labourers. 6 classes are taught in both Kannada (3) and Marathi (3).

The Domino Effect

OSAAT’s main motivation to take this project on was that the village is considered a model in the area, having installed sanitation facilities in every house. There has never been an election since 1962 for civic bodies. People have always chosen their leaders unanimously. When OSAAT offered a helping hand, the villagers and the Panchayat showed an amazing strength of unity and commitment towards the school. POWER (People’s Organization for Wasteland and Environment Regeneration), a Bijapur based non-profit organization joined hands with OSAAT and oversaw the fund transfer and construction.
