the project is to continue to run the high school and maintain a higher level of progress and greater percentage of graduating students.
The teaching staff, being local, is also very enthusiastic in helping the project to improve the area. The funding by ASHA last year helped a long way in this direction to increase the job satisfaction among the teaching staff.
The management, volunteers, supporters and families of the founder is dedicated to bring in the change to the area and contributing in cash and kind to this noble cause.

In the short term, the project is to continue to run the high school and help students progress, graduate and move on to higher education or get good jobs. Enroll as many students, particularly girl students as possible. Continue to increase the awareness of education and increase the level of literacy around the area.
In the near long term, plan is to build a Multi purpose Auditorium for the school which will serve as meeting room, auditorium for school functions, indoor games during the school year. During other times, we plan to rent out the property to raise some funds for the maintenance of school. The project is estimated to be costing Rs. 20 Lakhs.
In the long term, the project will help to raise the literacy level of the community and improve the quality of living and contribute to the financial status of the area.
Earlier to 1990, most children in Divgi and its surrounding villages could hope for education up to the 7th grade since there was no high school in this “backward” region of coastal Karnataka. DJVS High School was founded by the late Shri. Narayan V. Shetty to provide high school education (8th through 10th grades) to children in Divgi and several other neighboring villages.


Long Term Objectives
------------------------

Continue to provide high school education to children in this backward area at reasonable cost. Develop the school with basic facilities like library, auditorium, playground and computers to maintain the interest and awareness on benefits of education to the community and help develop the area socially and financially.
