Save A Kannada Medium School In Kerala That Provides Free Education

Kerala is a predominantly Malayalam speaking state. Kasaragod district in Kerala which shares a border with the neighbouring state of Karnataka has a small native Kannada speaking community. In order to ensure that this Kannada speaking community sustains and also to provide free education to underprivileged children, my grandfather, Sri Kudlu Ishwara Shanbhogue built a school Sri Gopalakrishna High School (SGKHS). SGKHS is one of the few Kannada medium schools in Kasaragod, Kerala that has been providing education to children since decades helping thousands of students shape their career, free of cost. However, due to a constant growing pressure from English medium schools, lack of modern amenities and infrastructure, the strength of this school has been deteriorating over a period of time posing a threat to its survival. Being the only grandson, my sole intention through this funding campaign is to keep my grandfather's dream alive - to empower this ailing school with modern amenities and infrastructure thereby making it at par with any other school in this region and also to ensure that this Kannada medium school in Kerala that provides free education isn't forced to shut down. This school is also important to keep the Kannada speaking community alive in Kasaragod, Kerala for generations to come.
