After joining the Satya Bharti School my grandson has undergone a tremendous change. He not only takes care of his personal hygiene but also insists the same for me. In addition, he also has some great moral values and etiquettes and wishes all the elders in English. It’s simply superb! |

Student Stories
Sheetal, Satya Bharti School, Kaithal, Haryana
Sheetal studies at the Satya Bharti School in Soungri, Kaithal. Eldest of three daughters, Sheetal’s father works as a peon in an office in Punjab. Despite her background and the lack of adequate resources, Sheetal wants to be an engineer and is working very hard to achieve her goal. In the Class V State Board Examinations held recently, Sheetal secured 98% marks and also scored the highest among all the 14 Satya Bharti Schools in the district. Seeing her perform so well, Sheetal’s mother said “Nu to chori mein ghani akkal sai, per thare school mein hi kadar jaani” (I knew my daughter was intelligent but it was only your school who recognized her intelligence).
Avinash, Satya Bharti Government Primary School, Dhani Minan, Rajasthan
Avinash was a student of Std. 5 at the Satya Bharti Government Primary School in Dhani Minan, Amer. He is an extremely intelligent child and used to always rank first in his class but could not express himself and used to constantly argue with his teachers. When the government schools were first adopted by the Foundation, our teachers found him reluctant to talk in class However, slowly with the approach of activity based teaching at the school, he started to speak and participate in classroom interaction. Today Avinash is a changed boy. Not only does he participate in classroom interactions, he is also very good in academics and in games. He scored 95% marks in the Std. V examinations and has been selected at the Navodya Vidyalya.
Suraj, Satya Bharti School, Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh
Mr. Chandrapal Khatik, a butcher in Kurriyan Kalan, Shahjahanpur, admitted his son, Suraj to Satya Bharti School in the village. Suraj was a mischievous child and was unable to even recognize alphabets and numbers. He used to make excuses everyday and also stayed away from school. After he was enrolled in the Satya Bharti School, his parents noticed a change in his behaviour. Slowly but steadily the learning approach followed at our schools started working on him and he became interested in studies. Now, he not only recites English and Hindi Poems but also reads and writes properly. Chandrapal is happy as Suraj now wants to go to school even during the Holidays.

Mr. Rachan Singh, Satya Bharti School, Teek, Haryana
Praveen & Sahil are students at the Satya Bharti School in Teek, Kaithal. Staying about 3km away in the village of Baroth, the children were initially enrolled in a nearby private school, close to their house. Even though they were paying a monthly fee of Rs 100 they were hardly learning anything and were extremely unhappy at school, much to the displeasure of their grandfather, Mr. Rachan Singh. He then decided to shift his children to some other school.
After a few days he heard about the Satya Bharti School in Teek from other members of community. He then decided to visit the school before he enrolled the children there. He was extremely happy with what he saw at the school and was inspired by the vision of Satya Bharti School and facilities provided by the Foundation, completely free of cost.
Mr. Rachan Singh’s grand children are now studying at the Satya Bharti School in Teek. Even though he is 70 years old, Mr. Singh cycles 6 km every day to drop and pick up the children from school. According to him, though it is difficult for him to travel each day, the happiness and satisfaction of the children matter much more than the distance he has to travel every day.
Mr. Chand Singh, Satya Bharti School, Nogawan, Haryana
During a survey conducted by the Satya Bharti School teachers in Nogawan village in Jhajjar, Haryana, they learnt that transporration posed a major problem for students travelling to the school from the nearby villagesof Rudiawas and Neemli. To resolve this problem a meeting was called with the community members to discuss the alternatives. At this meeting Mr. Chand Singh, a parent of a student, agreed to purchase a small vehicle to transport the students from these nearby villages. Hearing this the other parents also agreed to provide support by paying Mr. Singh Rs 200 per child per month towards fuel expenses. As a result of this effort, there was also a 40% increase in enrolment at the school.
Shri. Sriram Meghwal, Satya Bharti School, Sopara, Rajasthan
Raziya, Sharda and Bhaskar Ram study at the Satya Bharti School in Sopara village in Jodhpur. Having lost their father, they now live with their grandfather, Shri. Sriram Meghwal, who accompanies the children to school everyday. Shri Meghwal is over 77 years old but does not falter from his duty for even a single day.
It was during his visits to the school that Shri Meghwal noticed that the saplings planted by the students were being destroyed by the cattle. He then decided to build a boundary wall for the school in order to help keep the school clean and also protect it from stray animals.
He started collecting stones from nearby areas and putting together material for the school wall. Initially the other community members did not pay any heed to his effort. However, when they saw that he was carrying on with his job, alone, they decided to join hands with him and support his endeavour. They supported him by gathering stones from the nearby quarry and also helped in the construction. Shri Meghwal worked continuously for 6-7 hours a day for a period of six months. It is thanks to him that the Satya Bharti School in Sopara now boasts of a sturdy boundary wall, protecting their school and children
