Project Need

Pimple Village faced a shortage of proper school infrastructure, impacting the quality of education. The project aimed to build a safe, durable, and functional school facility that could support students and teachers effectively. The school at Pimple Purandhar had existing infrastructure but faced a growing shortage of classrooms and labs to accommodate its students. With 40 to 50 students per grade up to Class 10, the available space was no longer adequate for a functional learning environment. This initiative aimed to directly address that gap.
