AWS helps renovate residential school, and plans to develop 50 farm ponds to help the local community in Shabad, Telangana with rainwater harvesting
December 15, 2023 | Hyderabad, Telangana
Amazon Web Services (AWS) today communicated that it has completed the renovation and beautification of the Telangana State Model School (TSMS) at Shabad in the Rangareddy district in Telangana as part of its AWS InCommunities program, which aims to make a positive impact to communities, especially in regions where AWS operates. The renovated building was inaugurated on December 14, 2023 in the presence of dignitaries including Ch. Ramana Kumar, Additional Director, Telangana State Model School; P. Suseendra Rao, District Educational Officer, Ranga Reddy District; V L Anuradha, Mandal Parishad Development Officer; and Kerry Person, Vice President, Data Centre Planning and Delivery, AWS.
The renovation at TSMS includes electrical, plumbing and civil work undertaken to improve the school infrastructure and create a comfortable space for the students and staff. The school walls have been decorated with colourful, interactive, localised murals to provide friendly learning spaces for children, and the school now also features a renovated library, and new furniture in the classrooms.
About 800 students from approximately 20 nearby villages study at the Telangana State Model School (TSMS) at Shabad, and reside on campus. AWS has been associated with this school since the launch of the AWS Think Big Spaces program there earlier this year. The AWS Think Big Spaces program is focused on enabling students to cultivate an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) disciplines.
P. Suseendra Rao, District Educational Officer, Ranga Reddy District, said, “It is heartening to see how organisations such as AWS are committed to improving school infrastructure and providing education curriculum. Such initiatives will instill confidence among students and parents in formal education, and importantly, spark interest and curiosity among students in science, technology, arts, and mathematics. With the AWS Think Big Spaces program, the Telangana State Model School at Shabad has an excellent opportunity to maximise learning outcomes and empower the children to build a bright future.”
AWS collaborated with SEARCH, a nonprofit organisation to undertake the school renovation. Besides this, AWS and SEARCH are also working together to undertake the construction of 50 farm ponds in the Shabad mandal[1]. SEARCH will undertake a detailed community engagement process to ensure that the farm ponds are implemented in a way that maximizes the benefit to the villagers. Once completed, the farm ponds will help recharge groundwater, and increase the water available to the community, helping villagers utilize rainwater for agricultural purposes.
Collectively, these two new initiatives by AWS will help contribute to improving education, environmental sustainability, community well-being, and infrastructure development in Shabad. These new initiatives as part of the AWS InCommunities program in Telangana add to the multiple initiatives already undertaken by AWS in the state’s Rangareddy district, such as the renovation of government schools, Anganwadi centers (rural child care center), and healthcare centers and hospitals, and the launch of AWS Think Big Spaces in multiple parts of the district including Nednur, Meerkhanpet, and Kandukur mandals.

AWS helps transform Thane Municipal School into a vibrant learning hub
December 12, 2023 | Thane, Maharashtra: Amazon Web Services (AWS) continues its focus to provide essential infrastructure to local communities in Thane, Maharashtra. Its latest effort is towards the renovation and beautification of the Thane Municipal School (school no. 4/60/112) as part of its AWS InCommunities program, which aims to make a positive impact to communities, especially in regions where AWS operates.
The renovated school was inaugurated on December 11, 2023, in the presence of dignitaries including Prerana Kadam, Center Head, Education Department, Thane Municipal Corporation; Sanjay Bhoir, Ex Corporator, Thane Municipal Corporation; Carly Wishart, Director, Data Center Planning and Delivery, Asia-Pacific Japan and China, AWS; and Kerry Person, Vice President, Data Centre Planning and Delivery, AWS.
The renovation effort at the Thane Municipal School includes electrical, plumbing and civil related work undertaken to improve the school infrastructure and create a comfortable, vibrant, and friendly space for the students and staff. The school also has a renovated library and new furniture, and its walls have been decorated with colourful, interactive, localized murals, to provide friendly learning spaces and resources to children.
AWS’s association with Thane Municipal School began when it introduced the AWS Think Big Spaces program there in June this year. The AWS Think Big Spaces program is focused on enabling students to cultivate an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) disciplines. AWS InCommunities has also been running a supplementary nutrition program in this school, where students are given nutritious laddoos each day to support their general health and enable them to more actively participate in classroom education and co-curricular activities.
Prerana Kadam, Center Head, Education Department, Thane Municipal Corporation, said, “After the AWS team visited the school in June for the inauguration of the Think Big Spaces program, they proactively offered to take up the renovation of the school. We are thankful to AWS for their support in improving the school infrastructure to help create a vibrant environment that is conducive to learning. Together with the AWS Think Big Spaces program implemented earlier, the school has an excellent opportunity to maximise learning outcomes and empower the children to build a bright future.”
Through the AWS InCommunities program, AWS has already set up over 30 Think Big Spaces in India, which includes STEAM Labs, STEAM corners, and a one-of-a-kind Mobile Think Big Space on wheels. This latest initiative by AWS in Thane adds to the multiple initiatives it has already undertaken in the Mumbai Metro Region to enable access of STEAM education in fun and interactive ways, such as the launch of the AWS Think Big Spaces program in 2020, and the annual AWS Think Big Science Carnival event, which saw more than 2,300 school students from 50 Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation schools attend the finale this year, showcasing innovative projects in agriculture and food safety, health and hygiene, environment conservation, renewal energy, and disaster management.
The initiatives under the AWS InCommunities program in India are focused on holistic community development, including the environment, people, and overall wellness. The AWS InCommunities program was first implemented in India in Maharashtra’s Navi Mumbai in 2018, before being extended to Telangana’s Rangareddy district in 2020. Since then, AWS InCommunities programs have focused on the development of sustainable communities by implementing impactful programs to protect wildlife and the environment and bolster the local economy, essential education and health infrastructure, and other basic amenities.
