FREEDOM THROUGH EDUCATION ('FTE PROGRAM')

Even after 65 years of independence, Millions of Indian children have never, ever been to school. Illiteracy is a self-fulfilling curse that perpetuates the chain of poverty, degradation and child labor.

To reach out to this group of underprivileged children, since the year 1996, RTI across the country started adopting projects aimed at providing quality school infrastructure, and then in 1998 this project was formalized and thus born the National Project of Round Table India "Freedom Through Education" - In pursuit of educating underprivileged children

MMRT 42's focus on Infrastructure-Building is aimed at promoting Education for Posterity and hence RTI has put in colossal efforts to build FTE School Blocks across the nation. Round Table India has deployed close to 6000 classrooms over the years that will impact close to 6M Children. Of this MMRT 42 has built over 50 classrooms in the neighbourhood of greater Chennai.

 

Under the FTE Program, we identify needy Schools for underprivileged that are operating from dilapidated or open structures; schools that have land available but little resources to take up big ticket expenditures like Construction.It is here that we steps in and builds School Blocks with Amenities across India to help such efforts and hand over newly constructed quality school Blocks to the school bodies.
Cost of one classroom (2017-18)
~ Rs.11- 12 Lakhs lacs *
Size of class room
~ 600 - 750 Sq. Ft.
Time frame for completion of construction and hand over
~ 5 months

** This is an approx. budget based on our past average project costs. Variations due to approvals and site conditions are possible.
