Phnom Penh: India today donated USD 246,000 to a primary school in Kampong Cham province in Cambodia, which was named India-Cambodia Friendship School a few years ago as a mark of growing cordial ties between the two nations.
Indian President Pratibha Patil, who is on a state visit to this South-East Asian country, handed over a cheque for the upgradation of infrastructure of the school at a function held here.
The school, which has 239 students including 110 girls, was opened in 1981 under the name Trey Say School at Khmar Sar Commune in Santhor district in Khampong Chan province. In 1991, India virtually adopted the school by giving USD 300 and a tonne of rice.
The school was later renamed India-Cambodia Friendship School.
The school, which has classes from Kindergarten to Class VI, provides education to needy students.
Principal of the school, Noy Limseng said the school had one building initially but now has two more buildings and 12 classrooms.
