Not many builders/developers are likely to feature in people's good books. But this one from Mira Road isn't perturbed by that and just wants to further a noble cause. The developer has partnered with an NGO to provide basic education to the children of migrant labourers working at the company's construction site - they have set up a makeshift school on the premises.

Located on JP Infra's construction project site 'JP North' in Mira Road, the school functions from 9 am to 4 pm on weekdays, bringing the children, who might otherwise while away time in mischief or unconstructive activities, under one roof to educate, while their parents, most hailing from Bangladesh, do their job. About 11 million men and women move to cities with their children and live on construction sites; many of them cannot pay attention to their children's pre-primary and primary education, leaving such kids' future bleak.
