In a world where quality education is often a distant dream for many, the joint efforts of Johnson Controls and the Aahwahan Foundation made this dream an incredible reality. This is the inspiring story of their triumph at ZP School in Pune, a once-collapsed institution now thriving as one of the best schools in the district.
The metamorphosis of ZP School is nothing short of a miracle. The once-dilapidated classrooms now stand as beacons of knowledge with upgraded environments like the top-notch private schools in our nation testifying to the wide scope and impact of CSR in the core development of society. Thanks to the visionary partnership between JCI and Aahwahan, the school has undergone an astounding transformation. Smart classrooms, adorned with pristine flooring and ceilings, now can compete with those of private institutions. The benches and desks are a far cry from their former state, ensuring the students' comfort and conducive learning environments The other real wonder, however, is the cutting-edge computer lab. Equipped with top-of-the-line computers, both the lab and classrooms are now equipped with video and audio accessibility, ushering young minds into the digital era. Even the staff rooms have undergone a high-tech makeover, equipped with printers and advanced technologies. Teaching has become not just a profession but a joy for the educators.
The grand inauguration ceremony of the school was a momentous occasion, graced by the esteemed presence of distinguished individuals. Mr.Tushar Jadhav, the Associate Director of Johnson Controls, lent his prestige to the event. Accompanying him was Mr. Santosh Jagdap, the Director of Project Delivery Operations, at Johnson Controls, and the eminent CEO of the Aahwahan Foundation, Mr. Braja Kishore Pradhan.
The school, located in the rural side of Pune, now stands as a beacon of hope. Classrooms, once worn and uninspiring, now gleam with a fresh coat of paint. A state-of-the-art computer lab, a bastion of modern education, has sprung to life. The entire campus is bedecked with improved facilities that have elevated it to a whole new level.
Unsurprisingly, this radical transformation has sparked joy among parents, students, and teachers alike. Admissions are pouring in, like a river in full spate. Even students from private schools are making a beeline to enroll in this newfound educational haven gifted by Jhonson Controls CSR.
The school authorities say that year, the attendance and admission numbers have skyrocketed, casting a brilliant spotlight on the school's resurgence. It now wears the crown of the top school in the block and has secured a well-deserved spot in the district's top 10 schools.
The driving force behind this initiative, the Aahwahan Foundation, in collaboration with JCI, boasts an impressive track record. Their legacy of the Aahwahan shines brightly, having created over 258 model government schools across India.
