There are paintings related to popular tourist places, such as Mysuru Palace, Halebidu, Vidhana Soudha, and Jog Falls, in another classroom. The solar system has also been painted in a portion of the school building. The exterior of the new toilet, constructed using ₹8 lakh from MRPL's CSR funds, has a painting showing the scene in a village,' Mr. Bhat said. A fresh coat of paint has been applied to the school using funds sanctioned by the Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who recently received a bag full of vegetables grown in the school, has donated two computers and a projector to the school. Mr. Siddaramaiah's Press Advisor, K.V. Prabhakar, has donated a pair of uniforms and a bag to each of the 104 school students. BASF India donated books and other materials, worth ₹1 lakh, to students. A function to felicitate all the donors will be held in the school on May 30, Mr. Bhat said. The Dakshina Kannada Union of Working Journalists had conducted its 'village stay' at this school in 2018, acting as a bridge between the government and the people of the village to address their grievances.
