📍 About the location
In the interior rural areas, education of children in expensive private schools is unaffordable by local communities. Consequently, they send their children to government schools. However, the attitudes of teachers there is a little indifferent and not very pro-active. To meet peopleaeuros demand for better education some committed teachers have started less expensive private schools in rural areas. Baddi slums and Bogdhar village have one such school in each community. The school enrolls children from economically poor families from the slums or rural areas. The focus of education here is on social aspects. During leisure time, the volunteers may like to visit Chandigarh for its Rock Garden, Shimla town (once the summer capital of British Army) or Renuka Lake. Trekkers can decide to climb the nearby Churdhar peak (12,400 ft).
