A New Chapter Begins at Saraswati Ganpat Patil Vidyalaya: Building Futures, One Skill at a Time
Flood Affected Village School S.G. Patil High School Kelthan
On the auspicious morning of Thursday, August 7th, we held the Bhoomi Pujan ceremony to mark the beginning of Phase 2 construction at Saraswati Ganpat Patil Vidyalaya at Kelthan in
Vajreshwari, on the outskirts of Mumbai— a transformative step towards empowering rural youth through skill-based learning.
This new building will house a Skills Development Centre on the ground floor, designed for students who have completed their 10th Std, to train in vocational skills such as:
· Beautician & Skin Care
· Sewing & Fashion Design
· Painting & Carpentry
· Mobile & Electronics Repair
The first floor will be dedicated to academic and digital readiness, with a Science Lab, Computer Lab, Library, AV Hall, and a Conference Room – creating a comprehensive ecosystem for learning and career preparedness.
During the event, students from 8th and 9th Grades of Saraswati Ganpat Patil Vidyalaya enthusiastically showcased their growing skills in mobile phone repair, basic electrical circuits, paramedical care, sewing & fashion design, and even turning harmful plastic waste into creative decorations. Their confidence and creativity were a powerful reminder of the immense potential that lies in our rural youth — waiting to be nurtured through the right opportunities.
The event was graced by: Rajiv Shah, MD, Everest Food Products Pvt Ltd. , Noopur Desai, President, Rotary Club of Bombay Pier, Shri K.G. Patil, Chairman, Devghar Shikshan Vibhaag, Nitin Orayan, Founder, Learning Space Foundation - Maharashtra – the key organizer of the initiative & Jamshed Banaji Chief Architect at Banaji & Associates Associates, and Trustee at Learning Space Foundation - Maharashtra
Indian CSR Award 2023
Best Women's Hygiene Project of the Year 2023
Best Women's Hygiene Project of the Year 2023
Learning Space Foundation (LSF) won the best project award for its 'SafeSpace' Girls' Restroom & Sanitation for Rural schools in the category of 'Best Women's Hygiene Project' - the award was presented by the Brand Honchos Group Indian CSR Awards to the Founder at LSF, Shri Nitin Orayan on 7th October evening at Hyatt Centric Hotel New Delhi.
We appeal to the large community of donors and NGOs working in the field of rural school sanitation and menstrual hygiene support to come forward and adopt this very useful project and implement it in many States and districts throughout the country.
Our research in this field has proven results showing that over 90% adolescent school girls in remote rural areas drop out of school or severely lose out on education due to inadequate restroom sanitation facility, so step forward and support the 'Beti Padhao, Beti Bachao' work through this project.
