Chitvan Initiatives for the local school





Chitvan came in the area in year 2007, only 2 students passed the 10th grade that year, we announced a personal scholarship, so in year 2008, 5 students passed 10th grade. We worked more closely with the kids and this year to our surprise 20 students cleared the 10th board exams. Ashwani our GM brought the group to Chitvan for orientation. He took them around and showed the medicinal plant nursery, explained the benefits. Then the moment of great pride was when the kids for the first time in their lives saw a Computer at Chitvan, Ashwani briefed them on its benefits. They looked glued on. And then started English speaking classes for them, which is a regular feature 3 times a week now at Chitvan which is taken by our naturalists. At the end they did plantation at Chitvan, and they were explained the benefits of tree plantation, consevation, and why tourists visit their area. All teachers and students were thrilled by this initiative. And we have now committed to ourselves that soon we want to see lot of sports in this school, and lot of development.

  1. Hi

    This was a eye-opener. Good job. Came upon this blog while searching for what rates you charge! While i have a feeling that it will take a couple more of years of working to afford staying there, felt very nice to see the kind of work you guys are putting in the locality and school.
