Nursery and Primary School

There are many Schools around T.Nagar to provide good education to the upper class people. To provide an all round education based on the human values contained in our great heritage of our Country to the students of the poorer section of the society we started the Ramakrishna Mission Nursery and Primary School. The endeavor of the school is to inculcate good character and patriotism to enable them to be enlightened citizens of our great nation. We provide free noon meals to students of this School. Since the students of the school are from nearby slums and the parents are socially underprivileged people like daily wagers, hawkers etc., no fee is collected from the children of this school.

Hence, we are collecting donation for the same. We are requesting philanthropic Public, Alumni, Friends, the Devotees like you to contribute liberally for this noble cause and help the Ashrama to continue our noble service to the humanity. It is our aim to actively take part in the social and economic development of the communities in which we operate. In doing so, build a better, sustainable way of life for the weaker sections of society and raise the country’s human development index. Hence, it is highly appropriate to extend your helping hand for running this school.

SALIENT FEATURE OF THIS SCHOOL:

1. It is free School with free noon-meal, books and note books. Uniforms are also given to all the children of this school.

2. Though there is a Govt. school nearby which is also free, students do not go there and the parents admit their children in this school to get a good education.

3. Along with the regular scheme of education, we give them moral, spiritual and value oriented education which is very much lacking in these days.

4. Computer education is also given to these children.

5. Physical education along with Yogasanas are also taught to these children.
