Report from BIRDS March, 2024 Performance Report for 2023 from Paul Raja Rao, Executive Director:

Number of children living in campus boarding home – Boys 210 + Girls 100 = Total 310   Number of children and youth in BIRDS School this year – 800     Number of Students in Junior College this year – 120

Activities they are participating in:

•        Academic education (as per the state government syllabus)       •        Sport and games (participation in local, zonal, district, state and National level events)   •        Social and cultural activities •        Participation in Rural Development activities and community development

Graduation rates:

100 percent graduation rate is maintained in the school and college for several years. Unfortunately, due to Carona effect children have lost the education due to closure of schools so the graduation rate is right now (last two years) 98% we will pick up in another one years’ time.  At the time children leave they are 15 years of age for school and 18 years of age for college. After their professional and higher education, children are becoming doctors, nurses, lab technicians, software engineers, marketing managers/executives, teachers, technical assurance assistants, agricultural officers, military personal and in the airforce. Children graduating from BIRDS are very happy and proud. We thank all the sponsors for their kind support.     With very kind regards, Faithfully, Paul
