Osla is a last-mile Himalayan village located at 2590m altitude, inside Govind National Park, Uttarkashi. It is accessible only through a 16 km trek, with no road, no electricity, no stable network, and no functional government school.

Community Challenges

• 150+ children earlier had no access to education.
• Teachers do not reach due to extreme remoteness.
• Families survive on goat rearing, agriculture and daily labour.
• Girls’ education was extremely low due to long-distance travel.
• Roads remain blocked for 2–3 months in monsoon and 2 months in winter.

To address this crisis, Samoon Foundation established Samoon Adarsh Vidyalaya in 2021.
Today the school has 5 classrooms (Grade 1 to Grade 5) and serves 100–120 students every year with 100% free education.

Why Two Additional Rooms Are Needed

Currently:

• No staff room (teachers work in corridors/ground).
• No computer lab (digital literacy is zero in the region).
• Space crunch is growing as enrollment increases every year.
  

  Proposed construction:
   One Staff Room – for teachers to prepare lessons, maintain records, meet parents
   One Computer Room – to start basic computer learning for children in the mountains

  These two rooms will transform the academic environment and align with the goal of developing a Green & Digital Model School in a remote Himalayan region.

Sustainability

• School operations supported by monthly contributions from NRI members.
• Local community voluntarily participates in repair & upkeep.
• Samoon Foundation continuously raises CSR/Individual donations.
• Computer room ensures long-term employment & digital learning capability.

Monitoring

• Monthly progress reports with photos/video
• On-site supervision by local team
• Quarterly reviews by foundation management
• Annual audit & impact report shared with donors

The proposed project will significantly strengthen Samoon Adarsh Vidyalaya’s capacity to provide free, quality, modern education to children living in one of India’s toughest geographic regions.

These two additional rooms will:

• Improve teaching quality
• Introduce digital learning
• Expand student capacity
• Enhance school functioning
• Build a model for remote Himalayan education
  
  
  

Your partnership can help transform Osla village into a beacon of hope—where education reaches even the last child in the mountains.
