Kolkata, July 14 (IBNS) Pranab Mukherjee, President of India, inaugurated the new school of Satya Bharti Foundation at Kanidighi in Murshidabad district of West Bengal on Friday.

Speaking on the occasion, the President said that Satya Bharti schools are providing quality education to the students with main focus to girls belonging to the weaker sections of the society.

Presently, the school begins with classes up to class II. One class will be added every subsequent year. In addition to local students, this school will also cater to students from neighbouring Satya Bharti Schools.

The President also launched a special compendium that captures the dreams and aspirations of an ideal schooling experience as expressed by the students under various education programs being run by the Bharti Foundation across the country.

The Satya Bharti School Program currently operates 249 primary/elementary schools and five senior secondary schools across six states of Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, Utter Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. It focuses to empower girls and underprivileged children across rural India through its flagship initiative.
