Patte Education Trust provides formal education to children of daily wagers and farmers in Puttur area. There are 3 schools now, one until 8th, second is 8th- 10th and the thirds if from 10th to 12th. Local community contributes a small amount to the school. Parents prefer to send their childred to this school because they think that it is more regular and teachers are more engaged.
Currently needs money for expanding the laboratory (Rs. 2 lakhs) and to buy new books (novels and technical) for the library (Rs. 36000).
A school till 5th grade existed since 1952. It was expanded till grade 12th in last few years. Patte Educational Trust was formed 3 yrs ago and it is registered with the Government. In the last two years, many projects have been completed construction of toilets, computers for the middle school/pre-college students, pure drinking water (filters in the various taps etc).
