Village School Project
Welcome to the Anandanagar Village School Project! Our mission is to bring quality education to underserved rural communities, starting with the children of Anandanagar. We believe every child deserves access to learning opportunities, regardless of their geographic or socioeconomic background.
Through the Anandanagar Village School, we aim to empower students with essential skills, nurturing their curiosity and confidence to help them shape a brighter future. Our team includes passionate educators and community members who work together to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for our students.
With a curriculum that blends academic subjects, local culture, and practical skills, we strive to make learning both relevant and inspiring. Every donation, partnership, and volunteer effort goes directly toward providing resources, training teachers, and enhancing the educational experience for our students. Together, we can make a lasting impact and open new doors of opportunity for the next generation.
Thank you for supporting the Anandanagar Village School Project—where every child’s potential is our inspiration.
Ananda Nagar, the global headquarters of Ananda Marga, stands as a beacon of hope amidst challenging conditions in one of India’s most impoverished and tribal areas. This historic land, revered as one of humanity’s earliest civilizations, now faces immense hardships, where basic necessities remain largely out of reach for its residents. Spread across 52 villages, many families live without access to schools, hospitals, or reliable roads, which often forces children into child labor, robbing them of education and a hopeful future.
Our Mission
Founded in 1963 by Baba, Ananda Nagar was envisioned as a place where free education and sustainable development would uplift the underprivileged communities. In 1964, the first school opened its doors, and today, various institutions and initiatives positively impact thousands of children and families.
Key Achievements
18 Elementary Schools
50 Teachers
1,000+ Students
560 Families Supported Across 36 Villages
The Ananda Nagar Village Schools (ANVS) Project, launched in 1995, continues to drive this transformation by offering free education, breaking the cycle of poverty, and instilling hope for a brighter future.
Current Challenges
Despite significant strides, many of our schools operate under difficult conditions:
10 schools have buildings but lack essentials like doors, windows, electricity, blackboards, desks, and chairs. Students often learn while sitting on mats.
5 schools use borrowed, temporary spaces.
2 schools hold classes outdoors under trees, vulnerable to weather disruptions.
Immediate Needs
Our priority needs include:
Improved school infrastructure (doors, windows, lighting, and furniture)
Additional classrooms for growing enrollments
Enhanced teacher support, including salary raises and bonuses
Extracurricular programs in sports and arts every six months
Renovation for deteriorating school buildings and provision of essential school accessories

Philosophy of Education
"Sá Vidyá Yá Vimuktaye" – Education is that which liberates.
