At a government lower primary school in Bagalkot district, Karnataka, responsibility doesn’t rest with the school alone—it is shared by the entire community.

With 69 children enrolled, the school reflects what happens when parents and the School Development and Monitoring Committee (SDMC) stay consistently involved, not just in moments of need, but in everyday functioning.

SDMC members regularly engage with parents, encourage enrolment, and keep track of attendance, mid-day meals, teacher presence, and school resources. Parents, in turn, stay in touch with teachers to understand how their children are progressing.

This consistent involvement led to the school being recognized by the government as the best-performing SDMC, along with an award of ₹50,000.

Over time, the school has also become a place others learn from, with SDMC members from nearby schools visiting and contributing small amounts—support that helped the school purchase a laptop and printer.

Building on this strong base, ILP’s NGO partner SNEHA supported the start of a Village Learning Centre (VLC). The SDMC encouraged parents and provided space within the school, while teachers ensured children continued attending even during holidays.

Twenty-five children from classes 5 to 8 joined the center, which was inaugurated in the presence of teachers, SDMC members, and parents, led by a Vidya Saathi.

It is this kind of steady, collective effort that keeps learning going day after day, both inside and beyond the classroom.
