Reaching out to the local community, the Indian Institute of Management - Tiruchi has carried out through Elixir, its Social Responsibility Club, a re-development project for Panchayat Union Middle School in Chinna Suriyur village in Tiruchi district.
Elixir teamed up with Pranyas Development Foundation, the donor, to install a water purification system, paint the walls, develop smart classrooms, renovate washrooms and provide benches in classrooms at a cost exceeding ₹3 lakh.
At a function to mark the formal dedication of the facilities to the school earlier this week, Rahul Sharma, founder of Pranyas Development Foundation, exhorted students to develop the courage to dream about accomplishments and engaged them in activities to drive home the point that it was easy to destroy things but difficult to re-create them.
Reflecting on the initiative undertaken by Pranyas and Elixir, Director of IIM - Tiruchi Pawan Kumar Singh spoke of the impact of projects that were an outcome of a combination of good mind and heart.
Village panchayat president Shanmuga Sundaram joined the school head and teachers in expressing his gratitude for the initiative.
Students presented a cultural performance on the occasion.
