This school in Maharashtra's Thane district isn't the ordinary one

Описание: Tucked some 110km from Thane district headquarters is Fangane. It is a nondescript village surrounded by verdant greenery and rolling hillocks. For the past few years a silent revolution has been taking place in this village – a revolution that Savitribai Phule would have been proud of. A small school is fulfilling dreams – dreams not of the young and ambitious but of grannies. Started in 2016 on March 8 – International Women’s Day – around 30 students attend the Aajibaichi Shala. The age of the students range from 60 to 90 years. It’s a sight to behold. Every Saturday afternoon the aajis dressed in their uniform – pink saris – and carrying their red bags head to their school. Classes are held between 2 and 5pm.
