Furniture For The Classroom Of Samoon Adarsh Vidhyalaya - Osla

Samoon Adarsh Vidhyalaya, Osla, situated in the remote and underserved Har Ki Dun Valley of Uttarkashi district, currently provides free primary education to over 100 students from marginalized mountain communities. Despite the efforts of teachers and the local community, the lack of basic classroom infrastructure, especially furniture, hampers effective learning.

Children from Grades 1 to 5 are attending classes sitting on cold stone floors, affecting posture, hygiene, and concentration. This proposal seeks to equip all five classrooms with appropriate, age-specific furniture—individual chairs and tables for senior students, child-friendly stools and round tables for younger ones, and essential furniture for teachers—creating a dignified, comfortable, and inclusive learning space.

Osla village is a high-altitude community located deep in the Har Ki Dun Valley of Uttarakhand. The village lacks road access, medical services, and digital connectivity. The children attending Samoon Adarsh Vidhyalaya belong to families engaged primarily in subsistence farming or seasonal labor. Despite harsh conditions, students exhibit immense enthusiasm for learning, but the absence of basic facilities hinders their academic growth.

This proposal targets 125 children (Grades 1 to 5), creating an inclusive and encouraging environment that promotes dignity and quality learning.

To provide durable, ergonomic, and child-friendly classroom furniture to enhance the learning experience and create a comfortable educational environment at Samoon Adarsh Vidhyalaya, Osla.
