Research consistently shows that a classroom's physical environment directly affects student motivation, attention, and attendance. At Oxford Public School, 15 classrooms serving 750 children have bare, peeling walls, dim lighting, and worn or mismatched furniture in many rooms.
This project repaints and refreshes all 15 classrooms and replaces worn furniture in 8 priority rooms — giving every child a learning space that tells them they matter.
A school that looks cared-for tells children they matter. Faded paint, dim fluorescent lighting, and broken or mismatched desks are a daily, silent message to first-generation learners that their environment was not built for them. This component reverses that message at modest cost and high visibility.
A combined aesthetic and furniture upgrade across all 15 existing classrooms, with new desks and benches prioritised for the 8 most worn rooms:

| Dual-seat bench-desk sets, 8 classrooms | ₹4,500 × 160 sets | 160 | ₹ 7,20,000 |
| Teacher desk & chair, 8 classrooms | ₹5,500 × 8 sets | 8 | ₹ 44,000 |
| Delivery, assembly & finishing | Lump sum | 1 | ₹ 1,40,000 |
