Inaugurating the overhauled school on March 28, Admiral K G Kumar said that "The decision to renovate the school into a model school was taken during the blood donation camp organised in the school earlier. The renovation started on January 22 and in just two months renovation has been completed by the untiring efforts of the naval officers and the school staff. This is a matter of pride and delight to us", he added.

The new facilities and equipment surely benefit the 133 children currently studying at the school.
