belonging to the poorest of families will be covered under

 The
school is located in a typical rural
set-up in the village
of Bhaktarahally
having a population of approximately four thousand. There
is neither PHC nor a bank in the village. For medical aid
the villagers have to go to a PHC which is two miles away
from the village. The main occupation of the villagers is
Agriculture, sericulture and milk production. There is no
other school in the locality except BMV.
Only 40 per cent villagers are literate
across the eight villages, where BMV is the only school.
Free mid-day meal programme is going on
with support from the Govt. of Karnataka.
