Beautiful lake, thousands of lush green trees, hornbills, wild parrots, peacocks; all this makes this place rather incredible. But to have all these and not have leisure to look at it and learn from looking is very absurd. We think that learning through observations is much more important than learning from books. One has to learn certain things from books but learning through what you see, hear and do brings great sense of sensitivity.

Inspired by our mentor Dr. Srinath Kalbag, a scientist turned educationist, we formulated a program called “school without walls” for the underprivileged students of age group 14 – 21.

Our education is related to our Mother Earth & nobody should be forced to leave his village for bread, butter & education. None should be detached from his Mother soil for the sake of keeping body and soul together. We had, in days of yore, excellent architects, super human, medical men, amazing space walkers, and all that in villages. None of the great that time had to leave their villages. WHY NOW? We need not go to foreign countries or metros for higher education.
