Children studying in the Ameliya village school celebrated the auspicious festival of Rakhi. The CSR division of Mahan Coal ltd, which supports the running of the school, had organised various events throughout the day, including a drawing competition for the young children.
All the children studying in the school participated in the event. Senior officials of MCl were present on the occasion and the children tied Rakhi to them as a gesture of brotherhood and bonding.
MCl CSR efforts are focused towards primary education, primary health and skill development and training for self-employment and employment readiness; it runs this program in and around the three villages of Ameliya, Budher and Suggu.
Since the past one year, the primary school has seen significant development with repair of the entire building that previously had leaking roofs. The entire building has been reconstructed, new doors and fans installed and completely new cement flooring being made. The school also has got a boundary wall and a separate kitchen area for cooking of the mid-day meals.
Throughout the day various competition were held and prizes and certificates were given out to all the participants. Sweets and chocolates were distributed among the children and the day’s celebrations came to an end with the tying of the rakhis by the children to the entire MCl CSR team.
