On 20th April 2026, a meaningful step was taken towards improving rural education at the Government Primary School in Kelakhera, Bazpur Tehsil, District Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand. Under the leadership of Guru Devi Animal and Welfare Trust, significant infrastructure improvements were completed to create a safer, healthier, and more engaging learning environment for children. The school, which once faced challenges of basic infrastructure, has now undergone a comprehensive transformation. These improvements are not just physical upgrades they represent a commitment to dignity, safety, and quality education for every child. A well-maintained school environment directly influences attendance, learning outcomes, and the overall well-being of students.
This initiative reflects the Trust’s belief that every child, regardless of geography, deserves access to a safe and inspiring place to learn.

Courtyard

Our trust has successfully rebuilt and developed the school courtyard to create a safe, functional, and welcoming space for students. Previously, the courtyard was not properly designed or developed, which led to several challenges—uneven and unpaved surfaces posed safety risks, especially during playtime; poor drainage resulted in waterlogging during rains; and the absence of a structured layout limited opportunities for recreation, assemblies, and group activities. Additionally, the lack of seating and shaded areas made it uncomfortable for students to use the space effectively. Through this initiative, we have transformed the courtyard into a clean, level, and well-organized area that promotes safety, encourages physical activity, and fosters social interaction. This effort reflects our continued commitment to improving the school environment and enhancing the overall learning experience for students.

Classroom Floors

Our trust has undertaken the renovation of classroom floors to create a cleaner, safer, and more conducive learning environment for students. Earlier, the classroom floors were uneven, worn-out, and difficult to maintain, which not only affected cleanliness but also posed safety concerns for students and staff. Dust accumulation and damaged surfaces made it challenging to ensure proper hygiene and comfort during daily activities. As part of this initiative, we have laid high-quality tiles in the classrooms, resulting in smooth, durable, and easy-to-maintain flooring. This improvement enhances cleanliness, reduces maintenance issues, and provides a comfortable and safe space for students to learn and grow. This effort reflects our commitment to upgrading school infrastructure and supporting a better educational experience

Smart Classroom

Our trust has established a smart classroom to enhance the quality of teaching and make learning more engaging and effective for students. As part of this initiative, we have made the TV fully operational and equipped it with educational content, enabling digital and interactive learning within the classroom. We have also provided pen drives loaded with the complete course curriculum, ensuring that teachers have easy access to structured and ready-to-use study material. In addition, dedicated training sessions have been conducted for teachers to help them effectively use these digital tools and integrate them into their daily teaching practices. This initiative reflects our commitment to modernizing education, supporting teachers, and creating a more dynamic and enriching learning environment for students.

Doors and Windows

Our trust has upgraded the school’s doors and windows to improve safety, durability, and overall infrastructure quality. Previously, the wooden doors were in very poor condition—damaged, worn out, and difficult to maintain—posing concerns for both security and usability. As part of this improvement, we have replaced them with sturdy steel doors that are durable, secure, and long-lasting. These doors have been properly finished and well painted, enhancing both protection and the overall appearance of the classrooms. This initiative reflects our commitment to providing a safer and more reliable environment for students and staff.

Boundary Wall

Our trust has rebuilt and strengthened the school’s boundary wall to ensure a secure and protected campus. Previously, the boundary wall was damaged and broken in several places, leaving the premises vulnerable to unauthorized entry and inappropriate activities, especially when the school was closed. This not only put school property at risk but also raised serious concerns about the overall safety of students. The lack of proper boundary security had a particularly strong impact on the sense of safety for girl students, affecting their confidence and comfort within the school environment. Through this initiative, we have constructed a strong and well-defined boundary wall that effectively safeguards the campus, prevents unauthorized access, and creates a secure space for all students.

Dedicated Kitchen

Our trust has taken a meaningful step toward improving student welfare by establishing a dedicated kitchen facility within the school premises. Earlier, in the absence of a proper kitchen, mid-day meals were prepared in an open outdoor area, which posed several challenges. Cooking outside exposed food to dust, pollution, insects, and unpredictable weather conditions, raising concerns about hygiene and safety. It also made it difficult to maintain consistent quality, proper storage, and efficient cooking practices. With the introduction of a well-equipped, dedicated kitchen, we have ensured a cleaner, safer, and more organized environment for meal preparation. This initiative reflects our commitment to providing nutritious and hygienic meals to students, supporting their health, well-being, and overall learning experience.

Portable Water Arrangement

Our trust has installed a submersible water pump to ensure a reliable and consistent water supply within the school premises. Earlier, the school faced challenges due to irregular water availability, which affected daily activities such as drinking water access, sanitation, and kitchen operations. With the installation of the submersible pump, we have enabled a steady and efficient water supply system that supports the needs of students and staff throughout the day.

Toilets

Our trust has undertaken the renovation and improvement of the school’s toilet facilities to ensure better hygiene   for students. Previously, the toilets were inadequate, poorly maintained, and lacked proper sanitation, making them difficult to use and raising health concerns. The absence of clean and functional facilities particularly affected students’ comfort and attendance, especially for girl students. Through this initiative, we have repaired and upgraded the toilets, ensuring proper cleanliness, improved water availability, and a more user-friendly design. The renovated facilities provide a hygienic and safe environment, encouraging better sanitation practices among students.

Classrooms Painted

Our trust has undertaken the painting of classrooms to create a brighter, cleaner, and more inspiring learning environment for students. Previously, the classroom walls were dull and worn out. Through this initiative, we have freshly painted the classrooms with clean and vibrant finishes. The renewed classrooms now offer a more pleasant and motivating environment that supports better concentration and learning. This effort reflects our commitment to enhancing the school infrastructure and providing students with a positive and engaging space to grow and learn.
