With a great sense of achievement and pride on behalf of all Thinksharp Foundation team we announce successful \u00a0launch of StudyMall in fourth village “Chikatgaon”.<\/p>\n

In the year 2016, \u00a0after the launch of third StudyMall project at Village Vangani, we were contacted by one of our local volunteer Mr.Rahul regarding need of StudyMall in village named\u00a0chikatgaon which is 70 Km from Aurangabad.<\/p>\n

Miss. Ashwini Chikatgaonkar helped us in our pre- visit to this Chikatagaon. Miss. Ashwini is an successful lawyer and has her roots from Chikatagon village. She wanted to help her village. We were very impressed by her passion and dedication to work for her improvement of her village.<\/p>\n

After the visit to Chikatgaon village it was very much evident to all of us that Chikatgaon village children will hugely benefit by addition of more \u00a0better educational infrastructure.<\/p>\n

We had many discussions and rounds of conference calls, two more visits to discuss on start of StudyMall in this village. We decided to launch Studymall in primary Z.P.School of Chikatgaon village \u00a0. It was decided after an intense discussion what will StudyMall provide for initial launch phase to this village children .<\/p>\n

We prepared \u00a0list of \u00a0books, toys, digital classroom and some arts and crafts material to be provided at Chikatgaon StudyMall.<\/p>\n
