ASHRAYA NEELBAGH SCHOOL
The school provides a distinctive educational environment that enables young persons to grow not only in intellectual capacities, but also in other dimensions of their being. It also provides a flexible curriculum, which creates an atmosphere conducive to innovative teaching and a rich range of learning. It’s the only rural bilingual school. In the Annual status of Education report 2011, Karnataka has been rated as the State with the lowest number of schools with good infrastructure and basic facilities, in rural areas. In such a state, Ashraya- Neelbagh School has played a major role to change the perception of people about the rural education system in Karnataka.
Today, Ashraya Neelbagh caters to 351 (177 Girls and 174 Boys) deserving students from below poverty line families as against 174 (74 Girls and 100 Boys) students in 2003, showing a 140% increase in the number of girl children, over the past few years, that the school is reaching out to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of achieving universal primary education and promote gender equality.

We Need You
The community is proud to have Neelbagh School in its midst. We've also had important visitors through the year who have been impressed greatly with the school and see it as a 'Rural Model School'.
What we have achieved is very little ….You too can support this wonderful cause and uplift a child in need today. So donate now and help us reach more less fortunate children this Academic Year.
To run this project, the cost of providing education and holistic development and thereby transforming a child’s life, works out to INR.15000 per annum. May we appeal to you to support as many needy children as you desire.
