The project was implemented by the third-year undergraduates of the Department of Business Administration. In a discussion held with the representatives of the village, the students could identify the issue of poor conditions of a classroom in the school. Due to the lack of resources, parents had built a temporary classroom without any safety precautions. Therefore, the project team constructed a classroom with good conditions for the school under this project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Situation prior to the project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
