In the densely populated 16-square kilometre stretch of Bandlaguda, home to nearly 1.5 lakh people, there is only one government school. To tackle this gap, SEED USA and Hyderabad-based NGO Helping Hand Foundation (HHF) have opened a primary school to provide free, quality education to children from economically vulnerable families.
Located in Mohammed Nagar, one of several urban settlements in Bandlaguda, including Ismail Nagar, Millat Nagar, Hussain Nagar, Ghouse Nagar and Mustafa Hills, the new SEED-HHF school offers classes from nursery to Class 5. With two sections for LKG and one for each grade, the school has enrolled 300 students, all of whom will receive free education and books.
