7.       ACHIEVEMENTS:

                                 i.            We provided permanent internet facility in the school.

                               ii.            We motivated girls for continuing their further studies.

                              iii.            We made a website “zphsmutlur.in” for the school with all the information regarding faculty, achievements of students, facilities being provided there.

                             iv.            We made yoga and meditation classes a part of their curriculum.

                               v.            We were also successful in making technical skills as a part of their regular studies by convincing the school authorities to assign a faculty for it.

                             vi.            We planted many saplings in school premises so that it becomes environment friendly.

                            vii.            We also motivated the students to have Indian Army, Navy, Air force to be one of their dream professions.

8.       OBSTACLES FACED:

                                 i.            We found it difficult to convince the school authorities and make them accept for our proposal of conducting the awareness campaign in the school.

                               ii.            It took a lot of time for us to explain the school authorities regarding our project and the motto behind it and the reasons for choosing that particular school.

                              iii.            It became hard for us to plan for our sessions during the regular school hours as we have to convince the particular faculty who was for that hour.

                             iv.            As the village was far away from the town and there was no transportation facility to the village, we found it difficult to travel there. We did not find proper accommodation facility there.

                               v.            We had difficulty in gathering students of all classes for the yoga day celebrations.

9.       TOTAL MAN HOURS FOR ACCOMPLISHMENT:

72 hours

10.   ROAD AHEAD:

                                 i.            As the school does not possess the minimum needs such as proper toilet facilities and drinking water, we reported it to the local government authorities.

                               ii.            We will have to ensure that the proper action is taken, if not we will report it to the higher government officials.

                              iii.            We would also like to encourage people who wish to contribute funds for the school and also about who would like to interact with the students in order to motivate them.

                             iv.            We would like to do this through the website done for the school by providing the proper contact information of the school authorities with their acceptance, for the easiness of the contributors.

11.   ROSES AND THORNS:

 “We realized how difficult it can be just to bring people together for organizing a program. We gained team spirit. We too learned a lot in this process of conducting a program and learned to deal with people of different mentalities.”
