PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Jeevan Jyoti Lower Secondary School was established in 1954 as a primary school which was upgraded to lower secondary school in 1997.

The school got the permission to upgrade to secondary level in 2008. The school was running in a worn off building with around 2,000 students. As the school was too congested, it desperately wanted to add new classrooms.

The assistance from HeNN and various other sources made the school possible to add an entirely new building in the school premises.

Local people volunteered labour and provided various kinds of support.
