This project envisaged the construction of a sump which can store 23,000 Litres of water, which is harvested during the monsoon, from  the terrace of building of the school. The rain water is stored in two sumps and pumped to different overhead tanks, which are used for the purposes of toilets, washing and cleaning. The cost of the project was Rs 1.60 lakhs (approximately). The beneficiaries of this project are 120 students and staff of the school, in terms of maintaining better cleanliness, hygiene and health.
