HOW can a club IMPLEMENT HAPPY SCHOOL WITHOUT GRANT? Decide the location and the number of schools. Conduct School survey in 5 schools (using form R1.1). Finalize the facilities to be provided in the School. Arrange for funding and undertake execution of the project Upload project details on website as in format of HS 2.1 along with good quality pictures. IMPORTANT NOTE: If the school lacks 6 items, the Club is expected to provide for all 6. If the Club is not able / willing to take up all 6 items and wants to take up just 5, then it has to ensure that the school itself has either planned to or will soon provide for the remaining item in its School Development Plan. Thus Clubs are advised to coordinate with School Management Committee throughout the process.

How can A CLUB do a grant-linked project? Once a Project Offer (announced through TEACH App and website), confirm your commitment online.

CASE STUDY: HAPPY SCHOOL Infrastructure Boost In Government Schools Raise Happiness Index ONE YEAR, ONE CLUB CREATES ONE HUNDRED AND SIX HAPPY SCHOOLS Rotary Club of Bangalore, ​ Rotary International District 3190, established in 1934, has 255 members. In a remarkable history of 8​3 years, the club has constructed 40 rural primary schools , established the Rotary Bangalore Vidyalaya​, ​Rotary ​TTK blood Bank , ​A ​Dialysis Centre  , free hospital in Channasandra Bangalore, toilet blocks , Solar based energy solutions to villages and many more socially relevant projects . In the 100th year of The Rotary Foundation, it set to itself the target to engage in an impactful project in the field of education and literacy.

CASE STUDY: HAPPY SCHOOL While the then incoming 16-17 Board was convinced that literacy is the way ahead, and contemplating a few happy schools in our objectives for the year, our good friend ​ Past Rotary District Governor ​VVS ​Ravi ​came in with the idea and encouraged us to 'Dare to Dream'. In the installation on 3rd July, 2016 he implored us to accept a challenge of 100 schools. The entire audience was in a spell and what’s more, the board accepted the proposal in a daze. ​“We have consulted with the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan of the Govt. of Karnataka and have had their complete cooperation. We have short listed 100 schools in the north, south and rural of Bangalore, to provide any of the 5-6 of the above needs of the school”, remarked Ranga Rao. On an average it is estimated that each school could cost around Rs.3,​50,000/- (depending on discounted material and services). ​Rotary Bangalore is proud to have create​d 10​6 happy schools in this Rotary year itself. This was a gigantic task of logistics, planning, execution and fund raising ...yet we are more than sure that it has all been worth it for the phenomenal impact that it has create​d in the education of our own children in Karnataka. The club calls it 'HAPPY 100 '!!​

CASE STUDY: HAPPY SCHOOL A bit of statistics… The project has impacted: 10​6​ schools 300 villages 1​6,​000 children 50,000 beneficiaries all in one year ​It took 9,500 Rotarian hours and 61,000 contractor man hours Other clubs that are executing happy schools each year would be in a position to plan for a far larger impact and execute many more happy schools. “Dare to Dream” and Positive Change will be possible!
