Building Futures: Babu Dilip’s 1.4 Crore INR Mission to Transform Prasanna Colony Government Middle School

On 3rd December 2025, the newly constructed building at Prasanna Colony Government Middle School, Madurai, was officially inaugurated by the Madurai District Collector Mr Praveeen Kumar I.A.S marking a proud and transformative moment for the school and the surrounding community. The new facility now serves over 400 students from Grades 1 to 8 , offering a safe, modern, and dignified learning environment for children studying in both Tamil and English mediums.

During his visit in 2023, Babu Dilip witnessed the challenges faced by the school—overcrowded classrooms, unsafe structures that had to be abandoned, and inadequate toilet facilities. Due to the lack of space, Tamil and English medium students were forced to share classrooms, making teaching and learning increasingly difficult.

Moved by these realities, Babu committed ₹1.4 crore to construct a 6,200 sq. ft. new school building that directly addressed these fundamental needs. The project was approved under Namma Ooru Namma Palli, with the Boomi Pooja conducted in May 2024.

A Building Designed for Learning and Dignity

The completed facility includes a multipurpose hall, six well-ventilated classrooms across two floors, separate toilets for boys and girls, and fully furnished classrooms with proper lighting, fans, tables, and chairs—creating an environment where students can learn with focus, comfort, and pride.

Creating Lasting Impact

This new building stands as more than an infrastructure upgrade. It reflects Babu Dilip’s belief that education is the most powerful force for social upliftment. By strengthening the foundation of a government school that serves hundreds of families, this initiative helps open doors to opportunity, confidence, and a brighter future for generations of children in Prasanna Colony.
