About Takshila Education

Takshila Institute will be operated by nonprofit; Taskshila Education Trust. There will not be any operating expenses of this trust and money will be spent and administered exclusively by the school. All the members of this trust are volunteers and will not use school funds for personal purposes. We are a very honest and dedicated organization that aspires to bring the opportunity for world class education to the door step of this community.

Bringing hope to the people through education

Most people live on less than $1.25 per day in this area. The dream of seeing their beloved children receive an education is out of reach for most residents. Most of the children never have access to quality education because the region lacks the resources to provide widespread educa-tion opportunities. Many children work on farms or in small scale industries as child labor. Education is the only way to break the cycle of pov-erty that these families have been trapped in for generations.

About School
Takshila Institute will be located 90 km from the nations capital, New Delhi. Village Abidpura donated 10 acre of land for the construction of this school. Our goal is to create a role-model school that can be replicated throughout the region. The school will provide education from kindergarten through secondary, with a total of 3000 students studying in three shifts.

Vision
A student has to pay high fees and travel miles every day to get better education. Common families rarely see their childs dream of having a quality education become any more than a dream. Families sacrifice even basic necessities to provide a better life and education for their children; still, their dream is too far to be achieved. We would like to give an opportunity to the thousands of children who do not have any hope. With this project, we will change the futures of thousands

Our mission
Our mission is to bring world class education to the door step of impoverished children in order to improve the socioeconomic well-being of the region. Takshila Institute is based on the idea of Deweys education theory which states that education and learning are social and interactive processes. We would provide students with hands-on and experience-based learning opportunities. Thus the teacher becomes a partner in the learning process, guiding students to independently discover meaning within the subject area.

Idea behind school

This area is located 100 KM south west of the nations capital, New Delhi; it is an area which was neglected for years due to lack of irrigation and other employment opportunities. Most people in this area depend on agriculture to survive. This area provides an ideal opportunity to improve the lives of children by providing access to education. The students will not only be able to improve their own lives, but also those of their families. Most people have hand to mouth existence. With reduced and infrequent rainfall, the lack of an irrigation system has led to hardship for these agricultural families. We need to focus on basic education system, so that students get strong foundation and are able to continue to higher education. Children lack the opportunity to receive higher education and therefore they end up working on farms..

Fee Structure
We will provide as much aid as possible while also providing excellent educational quality. We will provide free education to Abidpura residents who donated land for the school. We are expecting that 60% of the total enrolled students shall be given free admission. 20% of students shall receive government support, and 20% shall pay fees. We are expecting that the 60% of students attending free of tuition shall have their costs covered by the community over a period of time. We will build up an alumni base for that collection.

Standard of Education
The school will be affiliated with CBSC and also world-level institutes. Students will rotate during each academic year for a 2 month period under a student exchange program. This will provide the opportunity for them to learn different cultund explore world-class platforms. There will be an audit system in which different organizations will check the quality and standards of the schools education and provide certification. Those organizations will be Indian and world-level Institutes. We will engage people from such organizations randomly throughout the year to examine our structure and the quality of education.
