Hi Harnath,
You can find the Lab material in Abids Tilak Road. You can buy on whole-sale
rate. Earlier I have I interacted with 16 schools in Rangareddy and currently
with 3 schools in East Godavari where I found complete Lab setup in all high
schools which were not used properly.
Seems this in an initiative from State Govt Funds. You can cross check on this.
Not sure whether there any grants for this year.
I have conducted 3 workshops on Science Experiments and Presentations and I
have some set of programs to do the same. I can share the dteails if you are
interested
Regarding Books. You can visit Vishalandra where you get most of the library
material.
Books from National Book Trust are prices low. Depending on the volumne you can
get upto 25% discount.
Also LeadIndia2020 has some set of programs where the teachers and students can
participate in transformation progra,
I discussed with Naresh last week, but the program needs students from 7th
standrad and above.
I will post more details on this program next week.
rgds..
Naveen

Hi,
With motivation from Diwaker reddy garu, i took a day off and visited
govt schools in my village. We have 2 govt schools 1. Mandala parishad
Primary school and another one is a Z.P.High school.
In total there are around 300 students (my rough estimate is that around
230-250 students are regular to the school, thanks to no rains, children
come to school.If rain they are on demand in agriculture related
activities on daily wage basis).
As I spoke with teachers, these schools are somewhat better in terms of
class rooms and teachers. There are 3 regular teachers and 1 volunteer
in primary school and 5 regular teachers and 2 volunteers in the high
school.
Teachers have suggested me to buy them useful books like dictionaries,
puzzles, science instruments like vernier calipers, screw guage etc.
I will buy some of them on my own and then will expose the full details
to TMAD such as. There are few local issues which are causing funds to
lapse. (last year there is a fund lapse or Rs. 3 lakhs and there is a
fund of 9 lakhs even now. I am discussing with few of the panchayat ward
members about utilizing this fund).
well, Here is what i am looking at:
1. school teaching aids - items and location where we can get them.
2. science experiments related items - locations where we can get them
(screw guage, vernier colipers,test tubes etc).
3. General books,dictionaries etc - places where we can find good
collection and get decent discounts.
4. Any other educational information/ items.
I am not looking for anything that runs with electricity, as my village
schools have no electricity supply as of now. But if you have useful
information please do share with me.
Thanks for reading through lenghty mail, Usually i like simpler ones.
few snaps of my village schools on my blog:
