UAIL promoting education at Rayagada

Five-year-old Smrutirani Naik, a kindergarten student from D. Karal village in Rayagada district in Odisha, is delighted to go to her school every morning.
Smrutirani says there are seven other students from the neighbourhood who walk with her to the nearby Aditya Birla Public School (ABPS).
Kamalini Naik, her mother is a widow who earns Rs 2,500 a month, working in a Government School on a temporary basis says "I want to educate her properly. My desire is to see her become a doctor or an engineer".
She said that her daughter enjoyed ABPS, noted not only for imparting education but for various activities aimed at overall development of children such as dancing and singing.

She had never dreamt of educating her child in an English medium school. But because of ABPS now her daughter is in an English medium school, said Kamalini.
On the initiatives of Utkal Aluminium International Ltd (UAIL) in promoting education in Rayagada district, CEO of UAIL Rajesh Jha says, "Education is the backbone of every society. At Rayagada, we have taken many initiatives to educate children at pre-school, primary and secondary stages. We are sparking the desire to learn among adults as well. We, as a Corporate, believe in giving back to society and children here are the future of tomorrow".

L N Dash, Principal of ABPS says "Our campus is a special place where the staff and parents believe in working together to help our students achieve their best! We have a dedicated team of teachers who put their heart into teaching and help our students to face challenges and come out with flying colours in curricular as well as extracurricular fields."
"They work hard to make ABPS a warm and friendly place - a home away from home, maintaining high standards for student learning and behaviour," Dash said.
