School Library-Aralimaradapalya

Govt Higher Primary School Aralimaradapalya near Tumakuru is a village school though it is within the corporation area and surrounded by houses of wealthy people. The wealthy people surrounding this school send their children to private schools but other part of the town has workers settlement area from where children come to this school. The tiled roof of the school in a vulnerable position and any time it is likely to fall off. When we first met the headmaster and school teachers they had informed us that they have more than 2500 books but they do not have open shelf for children to have access for the books. The books are presently kept in a closed almirah under lock and key with practically no access to children. Now with open shelf children will have better access. Jaya Madhava Trust as well as Rishipath though have common objectives of improving education system in Government schools we have no provision for funding the repair of Government buildings.
