The pilot

The need for the pilot was felt
when we discussed about this
project with our team and
volunteers.

The pilot will establish the accuracy
of various assumptions with which
we are working with.

The Survey:

The extensive survey of the
Vandavasi Block in
Thiruvannamalai district,             
reinforced our belief that there is a
compelling reason for us to
establish the high end schools in
rural India.

The survey concluded that the
people in this area is willing to
send their children to the school in
spite of the need for them to work.

We completed the survey of 212
villages in this block, which
consisted of door to door survey
and visit to all the schools in the
villages to understand the current
state of the infrastructure
