The grannies start their day with a prayer. They practise writing Marathi alphabets on their blackboards and recite them aloud. Apart from this, they learn the fundamentals of Mathematics, alphabets and nursery rhymes at the school.
The School Was Started Last Year (2016)

The Women Are More Confident Now…

The Oldest Student is 87 Years Old
Ramabai is one of the oldest students of this school and she is 87 years old. Even though she has a tough time hearing, she is keen on learning and is determined about it too. She claims that her self-confidence has increased after attending the school.
The School Has Done More Than Educating Grannies…
Yogendra Bangar claims that the initiative of starting a school has not only improved the level of education, but it has also made the village defecation free, and every family now has their own toilet as well. The grannies also water the saplings that they have planted at the school compound.
