Koluru Village Begins Construction of New Classroom Block Under Happy School Project

Groundbreaking Ceremony Held for New Classroom Block Under Happy School Project in Koluru Village

Bangalore Rural District, Dec 10, 2025: The Rotary Clubs of Rotary Bangalore Lakeside and Rotary Bengaluru South Samarpane, in partnership with CIGNA India, conducted the Bhoomi Pooja (groundbreaking ceremony) for the construction of a new classroom block at the Government Higher Primary School, Koloru Village, Doddaballapura Taluk. The initiative forms part of the Happy School Project under Rotary’s focus area of Basic Education and Literacy.

With a CSR contribution of approximately ₹33.34 lakh from CIGNA India, the project aims to upgrade essential school infrastructure and provide students with a safer, more engaging learning environment. The effort supports the broader goal of strengthening access to quality education in rural communities.

The Happy School Program focuses on improving infrastructure and co-scholastic facilities in state-funded schools to make them secure, cheerful, and conducive for learning. Enhancing these basic conditions is known to positively influence enrolment, attendance, retention, and overall learning outcomes.

The ceremony brought together employees of CIGNA India, Rotarians from both participating clubs, members of the Koloru Village Panchayat, representatives from the education department, school management, and students. The gathering reflected collaborative community participation and a shared interest in supporting educational development in the region.

Projects like the Happy School initiative reinforce Rotary’s commitment to strengthening basic education and literacy. Enhancing school facilities creates long-term benefits for students and helps build a foundation for better learning outcomes.” The event concluded with a vote of thanks acknowledging all contributors, including CIGNA India, village leaders, school authorities, and parents. Community members expressed optimism that the new classroom block would significantly benefit the academic growth and well-being of children in Koloru Village.
