Moreover villagers were dumping their cow dung in a pit near the school. He took initiative to change the school. He organised meetings with the villagers and discuss the various problem being faced in the school. He mobilized the society
Wither it may be building, furniture or may be lack of land for further extension of school. People dump dung near the campus and there were bushes around the school.

He mobilized the society and contacted his higher authorities for betterment of the school and its conditions.
