Lucknow, July 2025 \u2013 In a strong step toward holistic and joyful learning, the Study Hall Educational Foundation (SHEF), with support from the HCL Foundation and Basic Education Department, launched a large-scale distribution drive across 8 Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBVs) in Lucknow.
The drive was formally inaugurated at KGBV Sarojini Nagar by Mr. Ram Pravesh, Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA), Lucknow, whose leadership and presence underscored the government\u2019s commitment to strengthening girls’ education. Also present were KGBV warden Vandana Awasthi, representatives from the HCL Foundation, and the SHEF team.
As part of this initiative, nearly 800 girls received sports shoes and a wide range of games including volleyball, badminton, UNO, chess, and Monopoly \u2014 marking the launch of Sports Month across KGBVs. This effort aims to promote physical activity, boost confidence, and create more inclusive, energetic school environments through regular play.
To further support new admissions and address foundational learning gaps, specially curated Hindi and Mathematics workbooks were also distributed. These resources will help girls strengthen basic academic skills at their own pace, ensuring no child is left behind.
This collaborative effort by SHEF, HCL Foundation, and the Basic Education Department, Lucknow, with strong support from school leadership and teachers, aims to make KGBVs joyful, engaging, and empowering spaces for adolescent girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
