The newly renovated Zilla Parishad High School campus in Meerkhanpet, launch of a breakfast program for school children, and the new AWS Think Big Spaces at the school aim to elevate learning outcomes
Hyderabad, December 2022 : Schools have a pivotal role in enabling the development of children and must provide students access to a positive environment with the infrastructure and facilities that motivate them to learn, experiment, and play.
AWS InCommunities has been working with government schools in Telangana to enhance learning outcomes since 2021. Continuing its efforts, AWS InCommunities recently completed the renovation of the Zilla Parishad High School (ZPHS) campus at Meerkhanpet, Hyderabad which houses pre-primary, primary, and high school students. AWS InCommunities has also launched a breakfast program and the AWS Think Big Spaces for the school’s students.
Opening the newly renovated school today, Sabitha Indra Reddy, Minister for Education, Telangana, was appreciative of Amazon Web Services (AWS) support and commitment to community building. She said, “These past few years have been particularly challenging for communities, and this is our opportunity to transform and build more empowered, equitable communities by making quality education and health facilities more accessible. It is heartening to see the efforts made by AWS preparing the ground for development of our young people in the state. She called upon the kids to study well, reach top positions and set up companies like Amazon. Amazon has taken up several development initiatives here, even in Shabad they renovated hospitals, schools, anganwadis and deserves appreciation,” she added.
Zilla Parishad High School, Meerkhanpet gets a much-needed makeover
The renovation project included essential repairs and electrification of all classrooms and new flooring for the school. Playgrounds have been upgraded and students are equipped with sports kits. A lunch shed has been set up as a dedicated enclosure for students to have their mid-day meals and lunch will be prepared in a newly renovated kitchen. A water purifier has been set up to provide potable water within the school campus and separate toilets for boys and girls have been constructed.
Puneet Chandok, president, commercial business, AWS India & South Asia, AISPL, said, “We hope to see more than 500 students from Meerkhanpet and several villages in the vicinity benefiting from an enriched learning experience at the newly renovated Zilla Parishad High School. With its well-lit classrooms and modern campus including a kitchen, playground, sanitation facilities, and other utilities, it is a rejuvenating space for students to thrive and learn. It is gratifying to enable this important step towards quality education, with favourable and safe conditions for every student in the community.”
Nutritious beginnings to help students focus better
An environment that fosters development also means schoolchildren have proper nourishment to ensure their physical and mental well-being. To meet this objective, AWS InCommunities is launching a breakfast program for school children, with the aim of extending it to 5,000 children.
Typically, government school students have their first meal in the afternoon. By providing them with a healthy breakfast of dry fruits/multi-millet laddoos and ragi malt/protein-based drinks, the program aims to improve their overall health as well as sharpen their ability to concentrate on lessons and engage in sports with greater energy.
Mr Chris Vonderhaar, Vice President Data Centre Planning, Delivery & Operations at Amazon Web Services (AWS) said, “The Meerkhanpet Zila Parishad High School renovation, breakfast program, and the AWS Think Big Space represent our larger commitment to the community in Telangana. Over the last three years, AWS has renovated several pre-primary and primary schools and hospitals, and constructed rural libraries. AWS hopes that these initiatives will benefit the community and help keep children fully engaged in the world of learning.”
Inquisitive minds have a dedicated space to think big
AWS Think Big Spaces has been launched at Meerkhanpet ZPHS and is the fourth of eight such centres planned in the region, and fifteenth in India. The AWS Think Big Spaces aim to provide an exemplary learning environment for students in the state.
Here, learners have access to a dedicated place to explore and cultivate their extra-curricular interests in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) disciplines. These laboratories are equipped to allow students to think big, pursue innovative ideas, experiment, and develop practical knowledge in solving the most pressing challenges of the real world.
