Decades ago, high school education seemed like sour grapes to most of the villagers. But, with dedicated efforts of our founders, high school education was made easy and reachable. Since then, there is no looking back. From 1983 till 2020, the school has unfolded itself into a pioneer in imparting good quality high school education. We proudly say that a total of 2,256 students have been benefitted from this till date.
We have promoted and supported education of girl child since our foundation. During the first academic year in 1983-84 there was only one girl who was admitted to high school. But with our continuous efforts this count has increased steadily and at present there are 40 girls in school.
The skill training is provided in fields that we associate the most in our day-today life like Plumbing, Carpenting, Tailoring and Machine repair. Due to this practical knowledge, the students take up contract of small construction works and uniform stitching during the summer vacation. This in turn helps them financially.
The skill training will serve as job opportunity platform in village if by any means they could not get college education in future. This will also result in lesser migration of villagers in search of jobs to the city.
The school also has had social impact like Jata Nirmulan(Dreadlock Elimination). There is a belief that naturally
matted hair is a blessing from Goddess and cutting them will invite misfortune. Girls or women with dreadlocks are married to God and they are refrained from having normal life. With our awareness programs, 42 women removed Jata and they came back to normal life like taking education, getting married etc.
