SKDRDP makes an effort to put a check on school dropout rates through the implementation of the Jnanadeepa project. This project meets the infrastructure needs of the schools by providing basic amenities like drinking water, construction of toilets and classrooms. SKDRDP provides financial assistance for the purchase of teaching equipments, sports materials, tables and chairs. Electrification of schools, construction of playgrounds, compound wall construction, repair and renovation of buildings are also supported.

Part time teachers are recruited and assigned wherever required to schools deficient in teachers. This has a high success rate of drawing dropouts back. All these programs are conducted on participatory basis. The schools betterment committees have to make the necessary plans and invest 80% of funds through local initiatives. Through such efforts, SKDRDP hopes to ensure that all children receive primary education.
