WinS facilities for Rajasthan schools
Rotary District 3054 has signed an MoU with the Rajasthan government to provide all aspects of WASH in Schools in 1,100 government schools across the State. The initial phase includes 550 schools in and around Jaipur and Bikaner and it is expected to be completed in 18 months and then similar work will be taken up in another 550 schools across the State.
“In line with WinS Global Chair Sushil Gupta’s recommendation, we will ensure to usher in behavioural change in the community by reaching out to almost one lakh schoolchildren and thereby sensitise the community through them,” said Ramesh Agrawal, the District WinS Committee Vice-chair.
The entire project, estimated at $1 million, will be executed with global grant support from clubs of Taiwan and The Rotary Foundation. Plans are underway to sign similar agreement with the Gujarat government as parts of the District also fall in that State, he said.
