Education is the most fundamental right of any individual. However countless millions are deprived of this basic right simply because they do not have access to sufficient resources. What we propose is an endeavor to open up a school in a village which lacks the facilities of electricity and connectivity let alone internet. Education is something that can enlighten lives and may help many people to the journey of development and progress. By opening up this school, we strive to provide opportunities to many such individuals who can make their generation proud. By being first generation learners, they will be able to work for the upliftment of their village. Educating one person can change countless lives.

Due to it being a remote village in Uttarkashi district all the development work is much neglected here. There are no facilities for schools, no roads, no electricity, no connectivity, and no other basic infrastructure available. We need to walk 14- 16 kilometres to reach the school. People of the area are doing got farming to earn a living without an education. Middle school children also must walk for about 10 kilometres to reach the nearest secondary school. This poses a threat to younger children and especially girls who are the most vulnerable during the long walks to school. 

The Samoon Foundation will establish a private primary school in last village of Uttarakashi district of Uttarakhand called Osla village for the underprivileged children, offering quality education starting with 100 students. April 2021 the school will offer classes for grade 1 to grade 5.OBJECTIVES Provide quality education at free of cost for 200 students by availing better and closer learning facilities. Improved literacy levels in the community Reduce the number of schools dropout STRATEGIES OF IMPLEMENTATIONThe first phase of constructing Samoon Adarsh Vidhyalaya will include the construction of Five classroom blocks A later extension with additional classrooms is envisaged to be financed through the available funds in the next financial years.
