The 283rd New Model School was inaugurated in Davanagere district, as Braja Kishore Pradhan, Founder and CEO, Aahwahan Foundation, said children in government schools deserve better infrastructure for learning.
Davanagere, Karnataka, 3 June 2026: Aahwahan Foundation has inaugurated its 283rd New Model School at Government Higher Primary School, Kolkunthe, in Davanagere district, Karnataka.
The initiative focuses on improving school infrastructure and creating a safer, brighter and more supportive learning environment for students.
The newly transformed school was inaugurated in the presence of Shri N. Ravikumar, Member of the Karnataka Legislative Council; Shri K. S. Basavanthappa, Member of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly; Shri Gangadharaswamy G. M., Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate of Davanagere; Shri Satish Hampali, Vice President, Huawei Technologies India Pvt. Ltd.; Shri Gitte Madhav Vitthal Rao, CEO, Zilla Panchayat, Davanagere; Shri Guttalad Kotresh, Deputy Director of Public Instruction, Davanagere; Dr. Suchendra Prasad, Creative Director, actor and writer; and Mr. Braja Kishore Pradhan, Founder and CEO, Aahwahan Foundation.
Before the renovation, the school faced several infrastructure challenges, including cracked walls, leaking roofs, damp classrooms and unsafe learning spaces. These conditions affected both students and teachers.
Aahwahan Foundation renovated and modernised the campus to provide stronger infrastructure, colourful classrooms and improved learning facilities. The upgraded school is designed to support creativity, curiosity and academic focus.
Mr. Braja Kishore Pradhan, Founder and CEO, Aahwahan Foundation, said, “Education has the power to transform lives and shape brighter futures. Through this initiative, we wanted to create more than just classrooms; we wanted to create a space where children feel motivated, safe, and confident enough to dream big. Seeing the smiles on the faces of students and teachers is truly rewarding for all of us. When I visited this Government school, I felt that these students also deserve infrastructure and facilities similar to those in good private schools in cities. This will help them focus better on their studies, ensuring that poor infrastructure does not become a barrier to their learning. These children are the future of our nation.”
Dr. Suchendra Prasad appreciated the Foundation’s education focused work and its effort to create social impact through better school infrastructure.
Aahwahan Foundation said the project reflects its continued work to support underserved communities by improving access to quality education and safe learning spaces.
