At the beginning of the Rotary Year, RCPC decided to launch Community Service Projects with focus on SUSTAINABILITY & IMPACT. Sustainability starts with a community. After survey of semi-rural areas around Pune; RCPC decided to focus on schools imparting education to the children of Construction Workers. In initial survey following schools were selected as Focus Community with total beneficiaries of 5000. 1. Dnyan Prabodhini Prathamik Vidymandir, Kaleboratenagar, Hadapsar Pune 2. Dnyandeep Vidyalay, Kadam Vakvasti, Solapur Road, Pune 3. Abhinav Prathmik Vidyamandir, Loni Kalbhor, Solapur Road, Pune 4. Dnyan Prabodhini Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Sasanenagar, Hadapsar Pune These schools cater to the educational needs of children of construction labourers, and daily wage workmen who are unable to pay school fees for the education of their children.These schools are run by a private trust and do not receive any government funding. They are dependent on charitable funds. Extensive need mapping was done for the community along with club volunteers to finalize the scope of the project with a clear focus on sustainability & impact. These schools lacked basic minimum facilities & infrastructure for learning. The up-gradation projects are divided into three categories - Class Room Infrastructure, Learning Infrastructure & Hygiene Infrastructure. Class Room Infrastructure upgrade involves - benches, green board, lights, fans in class rooms. Learning Infra upgrade involves setting up Science Lab, Computer Lab, Library, e Learning and conducting an extensive Teachers Training Program. Hygiene Infra upgrade involves providing Water Filtration Equipment (after input water check), Hand Wash facilities and Toilets wherever required. In all these upgrades sustainability aspects are in built into the project scope.The IMPACT ASSESSMENT format is created and data collection is planned. This year following learning infrastructure upgrades to above schools : 1. 4 computers labs with electrical wiring and fitting. 2. 5 e learning systems 3. Teacher training
