The Alumni Association of the Balikuda High School in Jagatsinghpur district has decided to donate Rs 25 lakh in the first phase for development of the school under the Mo School initiative of the State Government.
It was resolved in a meeting held on Sunday at Bhubaneswar under the chairmanship of Bijaya Kumar Swain, an old student of the school and a former Principal of the Maharishi College of Natural Law, Bhubaneswar.
Water Resources and Information & Public Relations Minister Raghunandan Das, who is an alumnus of the institution, was also present in the meeting. He appealed to the members of the association to come forward with voluntary contributions in order to develop the infrastructure and atmosphere of the school that has an emotional impact on the lives of its alumni.
It was decided that the development of the school would be done without affecting the e-Type structure of the building. The association would endeavour to collect donations to the tune of Rs 50 lakh; and at the first phase, Rs 25 lakh would be generated from among the members present in the meeting.
Members of the association praised the district Collector for his active involvement in the school’s development. All alumni have been requested to send the money to the Mo School account of Headmaster of the school.
