This is the 1st school and education center of the area and after counseling the parents SAMPARC made it possible to send children to the school. The children are mostly from poor background and belong to schedule caste, schedule tribe, OBC and Maratha community. They depend on their relatives for their livelihood and parents send their children for labour work. The parents were encouraged to send their children from age group 16-19 yrs and continue their education at least until 10th standard as SAMPARC was providing free education for students living in the hostel. The school provides a good platform for various extracurricular and cultural activities too. The school bagged many District & Taluka Level Awards & Medals for special performance in sports. Coaching in sports is provided to many enthusiastic youngsters in a 3-acre wide specially prepared sports ground.
