Oversight is provided by a board comprising of 13 Rotarians from RBO and 6 family representatives of the land donor.

Completed in a remarkable 11 months, the Vasanthnagar Government School accommodates 600+ students. It aims to deliver high-quality education in a clean, well-ventilated environment, particularly benefiting economically disadvantaged students.
ADAVI - Dakoju Afforestation - Chalkkere is an initiative to green 1,500 acres of land in central Karnataka, one of the driest areas of the state.

Spanning four years, the initiative aims to plant various environmentally sustainable trees, rejuvenate water resources, and create livelihood options for the local community.
