Alumni of a government school in Kodagu reunite to renovate the age-old institution
MADIKERI: As several government schools are struggling to see the light of the day due to non-maintenance, an alumni association of a government school in Kodagu is striving towards renovating the institution.
Funds adding to over Rs 10 lakh are being collected to enable the renovation and revival process of the school building.
The Suntikoppa Government Primary School, established 108 years ago, has educated lakhs of students. The institution was expanded with high school education 44 years ago. However, the lack of funds for development works had remained a challenge.
The institution did not even record a centenary celebration due to financial issues. However, the alumni of the institution became active recently and are now involved in the revival process of the institution.
Recently, a group of alumni organised a reunion event as a Guru Vandhana programme, which witnessed participation from the former teaching staff.
The Alumni Association was launched as plans took shape to renovate the school building, which is in a vulnerable condition.
