Last year, we have had nine such students and this year as of now we have seven students who used to an earlier study in well-known private schools of Palanpur," Thakkar further said.There are 430 students in the school as of now and the majority of the students are from outside the village, who took admission here after looking at the education quality and the facilities that we provide here. Moreover, our teachers are well qualified and some of them have even completed their Doctorate degrees and M.Phil, hence the future of the student who studies here is in good hands, Thakkar added.A student Aksha, who shifted from private to government school recently said, "I like it here as the way of teaching is very nice. All the teachers teach us with love and we also study some subjects in the digital classrooms."Shantibhai Parmar, grandfather of one student studying in the Uttampura school said, "The school campus is huge, and the quality of education is also very nice here.
