FEEDING A POOR CHILD IS NOT CHARITY...
IT IS OUR OBLIGATION. IT IS OUR DUTY... .

The above words are apt for the program 'Ration Day' started by

the Gandhi Corner to help feed the victims of starvation and

malnutrition. The program aims to instil in their students the habit of giving

and sharing.

On the 12th of each month students and teachers of La Martinere

family will voluntarily contribute items like rice, dal, wheat flour and cooking oil.

These will be distributed among the slum

dwellers of Lucknow by the members of the Gandhi Corner.

APPEAL FOR VOLUNTARY ASSISSTANCE

Dear  Friend,

Established in 1869, La Martiniere Girls’ College, through its

continued dedication to pioneering education and maintaining

school traditions, has earned its reputation as one of the

leading educational institutions not just in India but in the world.

It is a medium sized college offering educational programmes

through three faculties: - Humanities, Commerce and Science.

It is affiliated to the Indian School Certificate Education Board

(ICSE and ISC) based in New Delhi. More than two thousand,

four hundred full-time students attend the College.

La Martiniere Girls’ College has rendered quality education and

offered matchless opportunities in the fields of games, co

curricular activities, social work and community service to

generations of girls. When your daughter passes from the precincts

of her alma mater she will be a LMGC Standard Bearer equipped

with sound values, a sound education and every quality essential

for taking on life’s challenges with confidence and conviction.

This is what we firmly believe and we know you share our belief.

Over the years we have included more and more subject options to

our curriculum to give our students better choices for their

higher education. The ever increasing demand for admissions

has resulted in the addition of new classrooms and laboratories,

an extension of the school auditorium and the school library as well.

To meet the

ever increasing

demand

for good complete

education, La

Martiniere Girls' College now announces the addition of yet another

new academic block which will be ready for use by March 2009.

The new school block will have: Fifteen classrooms, a new library,

two audio visual rooms and a teachers’ workshop.

We have taken on this gigantic challenge as we believe in being futuristic. The

project however, will incur heavy expenditure and monumental bank loans which are

not covered by the school fees.

It is natural for us to turn to our well wishers for support at such

times and we are sure you will offer your assistance generously.

Your voluntary contribution will enable La Martiniere Girls' College

to keep its tuition as affordable as possible so that more families

have the opportunity to provide their daughters with quality

education, which will benefit thousands of students who will pass through the

portals of this institution.
