Government High School, Mookandapalli Transforms into a Model Campus

Wabtec and Ennoble partner to revamp infrastructure to impact over 678 students at Hosur

Hosur — Government High School, Mookandapalli, located on Motham Road near Sudappa Kalyana Mandabam in Hosur, has undergone a transformation.

This remarkable change has been made possible through the support of Wabtec Corporation, whose CSR partnership with Ennoble Social Innovation Foundation has breathed new life into the school campus — and what was once a school with crumbling walls and non-functional toilets has now been turned into a safe, vibrant, and future-ready learning space — impacting 678 students.

A few years ago, the school’s strength had crossed 1000. But a lack of basic infrastructure — especially functioning toilets — caused the numbers to drop significantly. Teachers report that students, particularly girls, began dropping out due to unhygienic conditions. Today, after this transformation, they’re seeing signs of change.

“We’ve already seen a 20% increase in regular attendance,” says Ms. Rajalakshmi, a teacher at the school. “Children come earlier, stay engaged longer, and take pride in their campus. With these changes, we are hopeful that the school strength will grow again in the coming academic year.”

These outcomes not only reflect an upgrade in physical infrastructure, but also a boost in morale, learning enthusiasm, and a strong sense of school ownership among students.

Safety has also taken center stage in the transformation. With CCTV cameras installed across key zones, both students and parents now feel more secure — reinforcing trust in the school as a safe space for learning.

Transformation Highlights

• Revamped Infrastructure: Internal & external painting, plastering, wall artwork, new green boards
• Sanitation Upgrade: Renovated old toilets, new WCs for boys and girls, CWSN toilets, sanitary napkin vending machines and incinerators
• Hygiene & Health: Handwash stations with proper drainage, RO water plants at 2 locations
• Learning & Security Enhancements: 30 laptops, sound system, fans, lights, benches, CCTV cameras
• Ground Development: Retaining wall, rainwater harvesting, campus leveling, tree planting, sports/play equipment

“At Wabtec, we believe education is the foundation of inclusive growth,” said Ajay Mani, Managing Director – Transit Business, Wabtec Corporation. “Our partnership with Ennoble allows us to make deep, local impact — and the changes at Mookandapalli are a beautiful reflection of that. These students are not just studying in better classrooms, they’re growing up with better possibilities.”

Chirag Bhandari, CEO of Ennoble, added, “This school stands as a testament to how infrastructure can better student learning outcomes. It’s not about walls and roofs — it’s about the confidence in a child’s eyes and the dreams they dare to dream. We’re grateful to Wabtec for walking this path with us.”
