The ‘Matka Fridge’ project for the village community

One of our memorable projects was a collaboration between the MYP Year 3 students of MGIS and the 7th Standard students of the Bopal Primary School (BPS), a rural government-run school. It is important to point out that the Bopal Primary School like most Government schools in India cater to the poorest of the poor. In BPS, the student community belongs to the backward castes and scheduled tribes.
While the Indian constitution considers all citizens equal, the caste system is still prevalent and the lower castes are considered untouchables. The average income of these students’ parents is around USD 40 per month.
