                                     Efforts Initiated or the Process of Transformation

           Initially, we decided to buy at least one computer but main problem was finance. So I purchased a laptop
           and projector from my pocket and started teaching students with technology. They were so excited and
           happy. They liked to learn with laptop. Student‘s ellobrately talked about technology innovations and new
           way of learning with their parents. Curious parents some day‘s come to school and took interest in school
           problems. The responses of the students were very impressive and I was also encouraged by the members
           of the school management committee. Other school teachers also helped me in this project. We started to
           speak to the children in school 30 minutes early in the morning so that the children could be given more
           time and not even rest the school curriculum. The members of the School Management Committee also
           started giving time to the school. To meet the needs of school money, we started to meet many donors of
           Navsari.  Tiny  smiling  face  group  gives  us  a  smart  board  and  computers.  In  this  way  our  work  got
           momentum. I spoke to the teachers for the need of the school computer and decided that every teacher
           should pay 100 rupees per month for his salary. As a principal I contributed 500 rupees per month, and
           this money is opened in one school account and deposited in it. The members of the School Management
           Committee are ready to give 100 rupees per month. Knowing this fact, parents are ready to co-operate,
           every student in the school contributed 10 rupees per month. In this way managed to bring the computer in
           the school. Within 1 year, 3 computers were installed. After taking the computer every Saturday, Students
           start learning the computer after 11 am to 2 pm in extra class in school timing. The keys of a computer lab
           are  accessible  to  the  students  so  that  students  who  are  willing  to  learn  can  learn  computer  even  on  a
           Sunday. Members of the School Management Committee usually come to school with students on Sunday
           and watch the children's computer work. There was talk of keeping the guardian meeting in school at first.
