Projects that fit
- Safe drinking water in schools: RO or fluoride-removal units with a rainwater tank, since tests found salinity (high TDS) and fluoride in Churu's groundwater.
- Rainwater harvesting and recharge in school campuses: about ₹1.1 lakh to ₹1.7 lakh per recharge point with a 120 ft bore. See the cost in Churu.
- Classrooms to upgrade schools where the next level is too far: 90 schools are beyond 3 km to class 6 or 5 km to class 9. A classroom costs about ₹17 lakh to ₹19 lakh for the structure; see school building cost.
- Girls' toilets, handwashing stations and repairs, checked school by school against UDISE+ report cards.
