Shrimad Rajchandra Gurukul is a progressive school that serves the economically deprived students, offering them the right infrastructure and environment to parent them into becoming constructive members of society. The core values that we seek to empower our students with are integrity, perseverance and empathy. While we work systematically towards improving the academic core of the students, giving them a platform to pursue higher education, we also pay keen attention to skill development and other activities and programmes to ensure holistic development.

The education scenario in South Gujarat is such that a large number of the villages remain deprived of this basic necessity. Tribals are recognised as one of the most marginalised groups and provision for their educational development in the area are scarce. An innovative and integrated educational approach to maximise their potential is most important for helping them escape the vicious cycle of ignorance and poverty.

Dharampur lies in one of the major tribal belts of South Gujarat, where access to higher education is limited. There posed an urgent need for higher secondary education in the stream of Science that could be accessible to tribal students. Responding immediately to this need, Shrimad Rajchandra Gurukul at Karanjveri in Dharampur was founded in June 2011.

We focus on the child’s holistic development by integrating academic performance with educational camps, extra-curricular activities and hands-on learning. Some of the activities include:

• Special coaching in English, Computers, Robotics
• Career Counselling
• Competitions covering various areas such as Sports, Science, Information Technology
• Seminars on Literature and Financial literacy
• Working together with Teachers and Parents
• Participation in community service programmes - 'Design for Change'
• Workshops along with students of Mumbai schools - 'Together We Can'
• Field Trips including Industrial visits
• Educational Visits – 'Mumbai Darshan'
• Promoting Performing Arts – 'Shrimad Rajchandra Kala Utsav'
• Yoga Day Celebrations
• Sports - `Khel Mahakumbh’
