The study, utilizing qualitative and quantitative methods with simple random sampling, seeks to measure the tangible impact on students’ knowledge, emphasizing the project’s efficacy in shaping educational outcomes. The findings reveal that 98% of principals and teachers found it very easy to teach using laboratory materials, leading to easy comprehension of concepts by students. Seva Sahayog’s donated books significantly impacted students’ learning and vocabulary. Vertical vocational training proved successful, with over 80% of participants finding it easy to start their own service provider enterprises. However, the study identifies areas for improvement, emphasizing the need to redefine the list of lab equipment and instruments for experiments.

Additionally, there is a call for the addition of reading rooms in schools and the expansion of vocational training programs to reach more geographical areas, benefiting needy and aspiring students alike.
