aimed to create a positive impact for the thousands of school-going
children in the Kanakapura Taluk of Karnataka. Over six months, the
program involved 161 schools, 14,700 children and 36 villages from
the entire Kanakapura Taluk on cleanliness, sports, cultural
activities and improving overall education standards. With 25 model
schools announced as winners of this competition, this is now being
replicated across the state by the government of Karnataka.
