The NDTV Coca-Cola Support My School campaign started back in 2011 when it was noted that many girls were dropping out of school simply because of the lack proper sanitation facilities like a separate toilet for girls. While the idea was to help provide basic facilities, the campaign grew by leaps and bounds over time and has succeeded in equipping many schools with clean water, libraries, playgrounds and much more.

The campaign has helped revitalise 600 schools so far and 2015 is looking much better.The recently held NDTV Coca-Cola Support My School Telethon was successful in raising over INR 91 crores to achieve its target of revitalising 1000 schools.

Bollywood actors Ranveer Singh and Sonali Bendre along with campaign ambassador Sourav Ganguly actively participated in the Telethon to raise funds and help spread awareness about the campaign. Sonali Bendre even donated INR 5,00,000 to help the cause. Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani and Zarina Screwvala, the Founder and Managing Trustee of Swades Foundation, also helped encourage and educate people about the noble cause.

Take a look at these pictures from the event.
