What are we ?
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to educating our children in a holistic way for the best future of our community, our country and our planet. By adding the scientifically proven physical, mental and moral advantages of Yoga, Meditation, Indian Classical Music and Art to a solid CBSE curriculum, we are encouraging the visionaries of tomorrow to flourish in an atmosphere of creative openness and guiding discipline.

Recognizing our responsibility to parents and the local community, we are providing continuing educational opportunities on and offsite. In addition, by furnishing separate Healthcare Clinic space, housing and support staff at our future facility, we intend to coordinate with existing healthcare providers to serve the medical needs of our students and the Uttarkashi community. This vital service is not currently available in our area. We are dedicated to providing education to ALL without regard to race, colour, religion, or country. If we educate the children, they will learn to cope with the adversities in a positive and confident manner and weather all storms effectively. The underlying intention is to impart a basic level of education and also endow them with spiritual ideals. The standard of education lags way behind in these hilly regions, and they are completely out of touch with the developments that are generally taken for granted in the other regions.

In this age of cutting age technology, this is unthinkable. This, coupled with an utter lack of employment opportunities - makes for a very bleak future indeed. Thus, we have a threefold task of making them morally strong, educationally competitive and spiritually attuned - so that they can contribute more productively to the society at large.The educational upliftment is just one aspect of our vision. In this competitive age, many young people are blindly going into an emotional abyss - and materialism. We want our students to be spiritually strong too. This is more needed now than ever before. We need the young people to be able to uphold the traditional values that are being threatened into extinction.   

What do we do?
The school had a very humble beginning in 1998. It was envisaged as a holistic school catering not only to the scholastic development, but also moral and spiritual development of the students. It started in a single room, with one teacher and a few students. The Himgiri Guha, as the ashram is known, was a very simple structure. Slowly the infrastructure – a small school building with 8 classrooms - was built upon, as the number of students increased. As of now, the school has 185 students - one of the highest for a primary school in the state of Uttaranchal. We acknowledge that a lot more still needs to be done, but it has been a slow and steady progress towards the manifestation of our vision. We leave no stone unturned to turn out confident, secure and discerning young students, who can not only find a place for themselves, but also contribute positively towards a better nation and a better world.

Actividades Culturales

These children are invited to take part in extra curricular activities, to help them shed their inhibitions and feel a part of the broader community.

What is next?

We are developing a residential international school for 200 students, grades one through ten. Located in the spiritually rich atmosphere of Uttarkashi, this institution will both benefit the local community and provide a healthy retreat for students from the powerful and sometimes negative influences of modern society. We intend to give the best that we can in the prevailing conditions.
