A Report on Gokul Ashram and Possible

Support Adani International School Can

Provide
Present Support
It is best to first mention the support the orphanage has already
gotten, which plays an important factor in deciding what kind of help
the school can provide to this place. Organizations have shown
immense support by helping them use the growing capabilities of
technology in their daily learning with the use of screens and ICT labs.
They conduct monthly health checks in the Ashram and provide
healthcare accordingly, including issues that come along with puberty
and menstrual cycles. Sessions are conducted for students to develop
interests in extra-curricular activities.
Present Issues
All the help that this Ashram is getting makes the Ashram dependent
on third-party funding and support for essentials and modern-day
educational standards. If anything goes wrong and the organizations
stop doing so, this could cause a big problem.
Another issue is essentials like living standards, hygiene, and
sustenance. The Ashram uses the two rooms on the ground floor as a
class during the morning and a sleeping room at night. The hygiene
isn’t the best, there are multiple insects, an unclean environment, and
not enough toiletries and facilities to run errands like washing their
clothes. The eating area isn’t very clean and the utensils used to cook
are unhygienic. Water dispensers are there, but the water isn’t purified.
Another issue is the educational standards from both curricular and
extra-curricular aspects. The computers in the ICT lab run Windows 7
applications, which are outdated for today’s applications. There are
lightbulbs in the classrooms but they don’t meet the brightness
needed to avoid eye strain while reading and writing. The teachers are
reasonably well-taught and are doing their best to teach the children
but in a competitive world like ours, a basic understanding of subjects
like maths, English, and science will not set them on a path toward the
kinds of jobs the children aspire for. The library and the ICT lab share
the same room with there being seven computers and only one
cupboard of books to read. The Ashram has equipment needed for
sports the no fields to play on. The children take a good interest in
extra-curriculars but there is only one session held every month to
help them grow in these aspects.
Possible Support
Adani International School, being a school, can have the best effect on
the aspect of education. We are a school that does meet today’s
modern educational standards in all aspects. The Ashram follows the
government board and provides education till Grade 8. The teachers
need to have quality content and teaching to give a good scope to the
children, this can be done by sending our teachers each month, or
every two weeks, to train these teachers to support the children better.
Another approach is regarding the Ashram’s resources. The computers
can be upgraded to ones that run Windows 11, the library can be
expanded, covering further topics than present. The lighting in
classrooms can be improved and foldable desks and chairs can be
provided to give ease to teaching in the classroom and their storage.
Support can also be given by the children of this school. Having
sessions once every two weeks or a month with the children of the
orphanage, helping them grasp extra-curricular skills like speaking,
writing, drawing, music, sports, and dancing, that may come in use in
the future, even as a profession. This helps the students of Adani have
an experience with community service alongside helping the orphans
too.
