During the citizenship orientation programme for subordinate staff dated 15-16th January one of the participants shared his contribution which is reproduced hereunder:
The participant Shri Tarachand Yadav, is posted at A.D B. Sarangarh.
During the year 1977, he resided at Phuljharia Para, Kamla Nagar Ward No 01, Sarangarh. The locality was backward and had no schooling facilities in the nearby vicinity. Shri Yadav observed that there were many small children in his locality who were not subjected to any education at all. He also noticed that there was one building identified to be used for “ Kanji house” , but was not being used at all. He collected a few people from his locality and met Shri Mohan Singh Thakur, who was the ex-president of Nagar Nigam and with his help, obtained the required permission to start a private school for children of his locality. After obtention of the same, they started a single classroom school with a part time tutor, who was being paid by collecting money from the local residents. Slowly and steadily with the collective support of the local community Shri Yadav was able to garner more students and continued the classes for nearly two years. During this period he also worked towards ensuring that a government aided school may be opened in the area. Finally with the support of several delegations and communications to the then local Legislator, District Collector and District Education Officials, the approval for a Govt. aided school was obtained by Shri Yadav and his friends. The amount sanctioned initially was Rs.30000.00 and the venue for the school was finalized in 1979. The aid was raised to Rs 50000.00 for additional construction of the school premises and the efforts of Shri Yadav and his friends finally bore the desired fruits.
Shri Yadav was also happy to share that the school is running by the name “ Shashkiya Navin Kanya Shala” Kamla Nagar , ward No 01, Sarangarh and is holding classes upto middle school.
