In June 2022, Ventana Foundation received a request from the Karnataka Public School in Bidkalkatte, Kundapura. The school had been experiencing a rapid rise in student enrollment, and as a result, they lacked the necessary infrastructure, such as desks, benches, and printers. With education being a key focus area for Ventana Foundation, they immediately took action and sent a team to the school for inspection.

Upon arrival, the VF team was impressed with the school's efforts and efficiency in providing quality education to its students. The teachers and headmaster were enthusiastic, and the students were disciplined and engaged in a lot of interaction-based learning activities. The team was also pleasantly surprised to note that the school had set up previously donated computers as part of Robosoft Technologies' earlier CSR Initiatives and named it ‘Robosoft Computer Lab’.

After inspecting the school, VF approved an estimate for the needed 50 desks, benches, and a printer to facilitate the learning of the students. The order was given to a local carpenter, and after two months, the furniture was ready to be transported to the school. The printer was also provided to the school to print question papers for the students.

On December 30, 2022, the handover ceremony was graced by Jayaprakash Hegde, the Chairman of the Karnataka Backward Class Commission and Rohith Bhat was felicitated by the school. The event concluded with a beautiful dance program by the students.

This donation to the Karnataka Public School in Kundapura is just one of many initiatives that VF has undertaken to promote rural education and foster the growth of rural schools. VF recognizes that seating arrangements, desks, and benches in the classroom are one of the most crucial elements of a learning environment as they play a significant role in the effectiveness of student learning.

The school's strength has grown over the years and is currently 546. With VF's support, the school can continue to provide quality education and foster the growth of its students. VF's efforts are a testament to their commitment to promoting education and making a difference in the lives of rural children.
