In 2011, Rs. 1.50 lakhs was donated to the Rotary Club of Mangalore towards the construction of an additional classroom for the School. Navachethana School provides quality education to the rural children of Neermarga and the surrounding region. The School had its humble beginning with just 22 students and has now grown to a full-fledged recognized school with over 600 students enrolled at the Institution.
