Rotary Club of Calcutta Royals undertakes visit to underprivileged
primary school in Kolkata
Kolkata; September 26: In an effort to adhere to its commitment to provide assistance to those in need, Rotary Club of Calcutta Royals today paid a visit to Bal Shiksha Sadan at Park Street.
The Principal of the school informed the members that there were only seventy students in the school with an average of forty five to fifty students attending classes regularly on a daily basis. Almost all the students come from nearby slums with their parents going out in search of livelihood since the start of the day. The Principal further revealed that there were ten teachers who taught the students in the co-educational primary school.
Although the school is recognised and aided by the government of West Bengal and provides mid day meal to the students it somewhat has inadequate facilities to cater to some of the crucial needs of the students. The Principal pointed out to the lack of proper facilities for the students to wash their hands after eating their mid day meal. The students wash their hands with water meant for drinking and thus making the basins dirty with food particles blocking the outlet. A separate basin for the students to wash their hands would make the conditions hygienic. Rotary Club of Calcutta Royals is deliberating on the proposal to provide separate washing and drinking systems for the students.
Malini Soans the President of Rotary Club of Calcutta Royals presented educational charts to the Principal of Bal Siksha Sadan.She also presented the Principal with some plants as part of the green and clean initiative of the Rotary Club of Calcutta Royals. Rotary Club of Calcutta Royals member Anjishnu Biswas accompanied the President during the visit to the school.
