As part of the revamp, Badshah Masala – a leading brand from the House of Dabur – has spiced up the school and aanganwadi centre by upgrading the infrastructure, revamping the classrooms, creating new and separate sanitation facilities for boys and girls, drinking water facilities, besides improving the school's overall learning environment through creative BaLA (Building as Learning Aid) Wall Art and Mini STEM Lab. The school premises are now disabled-friendly with the creation of ramps for the Child with Special Needs (CwSN) toilet.

With this upgrade, the Government School has been converted into a model school that boasts best-in-class infrastructure and learning facilities for the over 250 students of the school. The entire community, including the school authorities, are delighted with the transformation. There is an increased interest amongst the community to enrol their kids in this school.

“Badshah Masala is committed to the well-being of people in our operational areas. This marks the beginning of our CSR initiatives which have been designed to make a positive impact in the lives of our communities. The students at this school will benefit from the infrastructure improvements, which provide a cleaner, safer, and better overall learning environment,” Badshah Masala CEO Rehan Hasan said.

Badshah Masala COO Amit Bakde said, “Our mission is to make the government schools in the region lovable and the first choice of the community by creating a conducive learning ecosystem. This development initiative at GPS Nargol Mukhya Primary School is a step forward in this direction and aims to create a fully sustainable society of tomorrow. This initiative aligns with our belief that education is a cornerstone for community upliftment. With this, we aspire to leave an indelible mark on the lives of students, fostering a brighter future for the children.”

After the successful completion of the school revamp project, Badshah is now planning to expand its CSR footprint to newer areas like women empowerment and water conservation. “A detailed need assessment study has been conducted to identify specific needs of the community and a development plan has been prepared to address these needs. Going forward, Badshah Masala plans to roll out a host of development initiatives aimed at improving the livelihood of the rural populace, particularly women and children, in the region,” Hasan said.
