S. P. SINGH SCHOOL
Visionaries Durga Shankar Prasad Singh
The society has founded a girl's high school and two elementary schools. It has created a demand for education in a population which was insensitive to educational needs. There has been a focused effort to bring children from poor backgrounds, untouchable castes, rural girls, and other minorities.
DAIRY PROJECT
Sustainability can be a major problem for charitable organizations. To ensure that there will always be sufficient funds to pay for expenditures, we started a commercial dairy farm two years ago. Besides generating revenue, this farm has been very advantageous to the villagers. It is the largest employer and income generator in the village.
So far, over 100 cows have been bought and housed. The three dairies can house up to 400 cows. Once it reaches full capacity, it would be the largest daily in Bihar and one of the largest in India.
HOSPITAL
A hospital has been established to provide primary health care in the village. Health care services are provided free of cost and free medicines are provided to those who can't afford it.
