Tribal Rural Schools

Tribal Schools

Each school offers quality primary education and is also a hub for information for the entire cluster of villages providing services such as:

- Monthly Health camps for children and the women of the village
- Dissemination point for new agro technologies
- A community center for the entire village
- Adult Literacy programs
- Each school provides basic facilities, which along with locally trained youth leaders serves as a catalyst for holistic development for more than 1000 families spanning 10 villages.
- Liberated and compulsory education to all children up to the age fourteen is the constitutional commitment in India, however this remains a distant dream
- In majority of the areas where education is offered the state of the education is so poor that it results in no value addition and permanently dissuades children from wanting to learn
- The common issues facing a typical government school is that either the teacher does not show up or the quality of teaching is so poor which results in over 40% of drop-outs of primary school children
- Lack of education is creating deep social and economic impacts to the rural and tribal populations in India which comprise 70% of India's over One Billion population
- 19% of the world's children reside in India

To address this looming crisis of a large uneducated population, Art of Living Foundation initiated the rural and tribal welfare project in 1999

Sri Sri has also pioneered several institutions of learning in the urban areas to foster value integrated education and make the learning process easier and stress-free.
