In the previous financial year 2022-23, land levelling for the construction of the Samoon Adarsh School building was completed. In May, the foundation work began, and the construction of walls started.
The construction work is proving to be more challenging than initially anticipated. Due to the extremely difficult terrain, no contractor or labor is readily willing to work there as there is no mobile network, no electricity, and no road access. Reaching Osla village requires traversing 16 kilometres of rugged, footpaths, along with dealing with severe cold, snowfall, and rainy weather.
Despite offering attractive wages, three contractors rejected our offers. However, the work has restarted and is progressing rapidly. By May 2023, we have invested ₹12 lakh in the construction of the school building.
Although there have been delays, the work is progressing with high quality, and we will soon achieve our goal. The construction of the school building is made possible through the donations and efforts of all the esteemed members of the Samoon family, especially Mr. Ramesh Inderdutt Naithani, to whom we express our deep appreciation and praise.

Heavy torrential rains, occasional snowfall, hailstorms, biting cold, and the even greater
challenge of a 16-kilometer footpath to the project site, where there is no electricity, no network, no first aid, and no machinery to expedite the work—despite these complex problems, we remain steadfast in our mission for the bright future of the children of Osla village. Gradually, the work on this magnificent temple of Goddess Saraswati is progressing, and the day is not far when the grand building of Samoon Adarsh School will be ready. This has been made possible through the exemplary support of all the esteemed members of the Samoon family, for which you all deserve our deepest gratitude.
During the two months of heavy rainfall in July and August, all the roads leading to Osla, the last village in Uttarkashi, were completely damaged. As a result, we were unable to transport construction materials to Osla via the 16-kilometer footpath, and were compelled to halt the construction work on the school building.

In September 2023, the rain stopped and the roads cleared, allowing us to resume transporting materials by mule. Therefore, the construction work for the Samoon Adarsh School building has restarted, with the aim of completing it by March of this session so that the school can move into the new building for the next session.
With the special support of Mr. Ramesh Inder Naithani, work is progressing, and so far,
₹20 lakh have been spent. It is estimated that an equal amount will be needed to
complete the project, for which Mr. Naithani has assured every possible assistance.
