Before Agami, Alok was unable to accommodate for the large number of students or provide basic needs such as tiffin and uniforms. The school was unable to employ quality teachers or provide a learning environment with desks, chairs and other essential material.

Once Agami was involved, Alok moved to a brick and mortar building. After providing students with basic educational needs, Alok was able to supplement their program with the Life is Fun (a science program) and several field trips supporting by the Khan academy program.

The post graduation program is the most important contribution from Agami. Alok is able to support students after they graduate from the 5th grade. They help the students get admission to local high schools and tutor the students to be able to be able to reach benchmark standards in science, math, and English.
