3. ANGRAU FEEL We the students carryheavy load of bags to school which we cannot escape but silently suffer, thinking that carrying the school bag is nothing but hell. Today’s competitive world has made education overloaded to the children mentally (with lot to study) as well as physically (with lot of books to be carried).How good it would be if there was some way out. Not all schools have enough place to accommodate the books of all the students. Then what can be the possible rescue especially for the tiny children ? KRISHI HIGH SCHOOL, ANGRAU CAMPUS, RAJENDRANAGAR, HYDERABAD – 30

4. FEEL ANGRAU Oh..Carrying this bag is such a hell. Hope some fairy would come to my rescue some day and lessen this load. We felt- Can we cut down the load of Books to be carried? Can we get back the smile on her face? Yes…….definitely but it needs a thought and importantly thought needs implementation. KRISHI HIGH SCHOOL, ANGRAU CAMPUS, RAJENDRANAGAR, HYDERABAD – 30

5. ANGRAU FEEL . Thus, we thought that if we can bring a small change by reducing the load of books many children will be benefited. Hence we have chosen the topic for our project for the DESIGN FOR CHANGE CONTEST, 2010 as ‘STUDY WELL WITHOUT THE LOAD OF HELL’ We have chosen Class I to V children of our own school i.e. Krishi High School, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad for implementing the project KRISHI HIGH SCHOOL, ANGRAU CAMPUS, RAJENDRANAGAR, HYDERABAD – 30

6. We shared our idea with our head master Sri. PrakashRao who was very happy and gave us valuable suggestions & blessings.
