Kaimari Government Primary School in Assam’s Barpeta district has been rebuilt and handed over nearly four years after it was destroyed in the 2022 floods, restoring access to a proper learning environment for around 160 children in the village.
The newly constructed school building was inaugurated on Thursday, October 29, by Group Legrand India in partnership with One Stage Organisation. The school was severely damaged and eventually washed away during the floods, disrupting education for students in the village.
The rebuilt school has five classrooms, a staff room, a digital learning room, a kitchen and storage facility, separate sanitation facilities for girls, boys and staff, classroom furniture, electricity connectivity and a playground. It also incorporates the Building as Learning Aid (BALA) concept, which uses school infrastructure as an interactive learning space.
Speaking at the inauguration, Abida Aneez, Vice President of Sustainability and CSR at Group Legrand India, said the reconstruction aimed to restore educational opportunities for children affected by the floods and provide them with a safe space to learn, grow and develop their potential.
The ceremony was attended by government officials, community leaders, educators, students and representatives of the two organisations. Local authorities, school management committees, teachers, parents and community members also supported the completion of the project.
The initiative follows the company's support for Kharbali Government Primary School in 2023 and forms part of its efforts to improve educational infrastructure and support community development in Assam.
