History
The beginning was made in 2011 as a single teacher school with a small batch of 22
children in kindergarten. This project has undertaken, primarily to address the issue of
lack of schooling facilities in the village and to avoid the need for children to spend
over 2 hours for attending the schools in nearby cities. The focus was also to ensure
that the village children get easy access to education, eliminate school drop-outs and
promote the education of girl child. The Hejamady-Kodi Vidyaprasara Foundation, formed
for this purpose has garnered the support of individual and corporate donors and raised
over Rs.3 crores so far. Construction of school building of over 20,000 sq.ft., was
completed in December, 2017 and the school now has many facilities required for
providing quality education including computer and science laboratories,Mini Science
centre and many other facilities including digital education. The school also has a
library which is fully integrated with the classroom learnings and become the central to
whole learning process in the school. The school management is making continuous efforts
in improving the quality of education being imparted at the school by adopting
innovative methods and best practices.
