Construction of classrooms at Dapurmal Village

Thane District

In the remote, roadless tribal hamlet of Dapurmal (Thane District, Maharashtra), 30 families were faced with a severe crisis: their local primary school was dilapidated and dangerous, often infested with snakes and scorpions. Undeterred by a daily 2 km walk, the children’s eagerness to learn inspired Satsang Seva Mission volunteers to act in concert with the local community in early April 2026.

Overcoming severe logistical hurdles – lack of road access and facing scorching summer heat – the local community manually carried pre-painted galvanized iron (PPGI) sheets and steel frameworks over 6 kilometers of mountainous terrain. Despite electricity disruptions and material delays, two permanent, weather-proof, illuminated classrooms were successfully completed in July 2026.
