In Maharashtra's tribal hamlet of Hiwali, a unique school runs 365 days a year, 12 hours daily. Sixty children, including six-year-old Ananya Gavit, study here with no dropout or migration. The Zilla Parishad School offers two daily meals, activity-based learning, and vocational training like plumbing and agriculture. Children come from up to 22 km away, with one parent even renting a room locally to ensure education. Teachers say, "Both parts of the children’s brains have been activated now. They can write different content in two different languages with both the hands simultaneously, even as they recite a completely different poem while writing," says Keshav Kalibai Chandar Gavit, the school's inspiring teacher. This approach has helped stop seasonal migration for wages, transforming the village into a zero-addiction community with all children attending school. Yet, the school faces severe water scarcity. "We need a small dam and solar powered pumps to resolve our water problem," Mr. Gavit warns. Rainfall is high, but water storage is poor due to the hilly slope. The administration is working on tap water supply and well deepening under the Jal Jeevan Mission but no dam plan exists yet. Nashik CEO Omkar Pawar stated, "If the village wants a small dam, the administration can definitely help. It is a model school for us. We are proud of it." This water crisis threatens to undo years of hard work and may cause migration to return. The school remains a bright symbol of education innovation and tribal upliftment but urgently needs water solutions to sustain its gains.
