Executive Summary

Library Upgrade

Oxford Public School's library has books, but lacks functional furniture and an inviting environment — reducing student usage and undermining the reading culture the school is trying to build among first-generation learners.

This project fully transforms the library into a functional, well-stocked, inviting reading space — completed within 45 days.

The Problem

A properly equipped library directly supports academic achievement in Olympiads, the National Talent Search exam, and competitive exams — areas where this school already demonstrates national-level capability. Without adequate seating, organisation, and a current collection, that potential goes underused.

The Proposal

A full transformation of the existing library — furniture, collection, ambience, and a structured reading programme:
