A dream come true: This Super School is the dream child of K. Harish, who spent decades serving ISRO. "I always wanted to help children from under privileged segment of the society by offering good quality education. I wanted to offer them an education which really helps them to sharpen their skills and develop their personality. Today it is being realized through this school," he said.
Shrinath, an auto driver, echoes the view of Rekha, "If this school was not there, it would have remained only a dream for me to give good education for my child.”
Rain water harvesting and water recharge pits in the school has now resulted in underground water level improvement in about 8 kilometres radius. Bio gas aids the school to reduce its dependence on external sources. The entire area has now regained its lost biodiversity.
According to K. Harish, all these protocols are now being followed across all Vagdevi Vilas schools spread across the city. "Our idea is to provide value based practical oriented education with roots in our Indian tradition. Our tradition has its roots in nature. We are following the same," he said. Finally, the school’s initiative of rain water harvesting, solar energy production and concern for environment have won it the ‘Wonderla Green Award’. Likewise, Schneider Electric Company has honoured the school with ʻBest Green School Award’.
