RDF Kalleda School has added another feather in its cap. It now has a modern English Language Lab, thanks to Synchrony Financial, a corporate company. The company has gifted ten computers and other peripherals worth over Rs. 5 lakh to the school and the lab was inaugurated by company business leader Faisal Ali Khan on 21st August 2015. Speaking to The Hindu , Mr. Faisal Ali Khan said they had been associated with RDF for a long time, having provided one-month English speaking training to children at Hyderabad last summer. They felt a language lab would help sustain and enhance their learning and hence, gifted computers to the school. “We have been focusing on education and sanitation in government schools in Hyderabad only. Now, we are delighted to reach out to rural children in this village,” Mr. Faisal said. The newly set up language lab needs a lot more equipment. School principal T. Sridhar and vice-principal K. Ashoka Chary expressed hope that more people would come forward to help.
