Maruthi Primary School event



Date of event: 15th August, 2009

Maruthi School is a private school headed by Mr Lakshmi kanth, who has managed to run the school without government aid. He enrolls children who would otherwise end up as child labourers or uneducated citizens. Most of the children come from economically backward families and cannot afford schooling.

A small celebration was organised by the LIFE team on August 15 at Maruthi Primary school at 8.30 am for the students.

1. The celebration started with hoisting of the national flag followed by national anthem.
2. Mr. Lakshmikanth gave a inspirational speech to the students
3. Students were invited to perform their talents. The program gave the poor children who live around our community a chance to perform on the stage.
4.Some fun games were conducted by Swapna, Shrishail and Harsha.
5.Light refreshments were served by Harsha to the staff and children.
6.Discussion was held with Mr.Lakshmilanth to better understand the needs of the school.

Two years ago, along with Dhwani, LIFE had participated at the I-day event at the same school. The student number has increased from 35 to 48. The school provides them with education till 7th grade and organizes lunch through Akshya Paatre (Not a free lunch!!!)

What you can do:

There is a scheme where a child from the school can be adopted at an estimated cost of 4000 INR, which would provide for the educational and lunch requirements of the child for a year. Part payments may also be worked out. Anyone can apply to adopt a child. For more details about this, please send an email to


Thanks, Harsha

Each teacher say that the environment needs us, and we need to do the needful. We need to know what we can do, so here I have listed the most useful laws and treaties which I have seen across the web in favor of the environment. These things I believe need to be taught in schools to help students in realizing these details at a tender age.
