Guru Krupa Foundation (GKF) from the United States has been supporting Bala Mandir for the past two years with food and educational expenses for the students of our Bala Mandir Vidyalaya Nursery & Primary School and the Satyamurthi Higher Secondary School (SMHS). In November, the President of GKF, Mr. Mukund Padmanabhan, accompanied by Mr. Madhavan visited the schools to see the operations first hand. They got to walk through the schools, and also joined the students for lunch time in the Vidyalaya. Both the visitors were impressed by the work done by the schools. They also shared their feedback based on their observations of best practices in other institutions supported by them.
