By Our Special Correspondent

BANGALORE SEPT. 21. Students of the Government Primary School at Carmelaram Post on Sarjapur Road on the outskirts of Bangalore now have a renovated school building along with a new ground because of the initiative taken by Wipro.

The school, which is about two km. from the Sarjapur Campus of Wipro, was in a dilapidated condition.

It has 370 children studying in standards first to eighth, and most of them are from poor families.

Wipro has provided infrastructure support worth Rs. 1.02 lakh to the school. Apart from this, the Information Technology major also provided sports material and furniture to the school.

The local people contributed Rs. 8,500 towards cement and stones for construction work. They converted a dry pond next to the school into a playground.
