About

Brahmi Educational and Cultural Trust a registered charity dedicated to providing meaningful education to the disadvantaged rural children. 

Aim

We want to children to grow up celebrating their childhood. At Anjana we would like to focus on education they can use in their lives, exposing them to infinite possibilities of shaping their lives.

Children meet and listen to hundreds of volunteers and achievers and visitors each year, which helps them to learn by interaction.

The school programs are led by a team of extremely capable and highly motivated teachers and volunteers. Four batches of students have graduated from SSLC so far and three times we have secured 100% results.

ANJANA VIDYA KENDRA

Envisioned and sustained by Brahmi since 2001, AVK is a center for holistic education in a gurukul type setup. Currently an English medium formal school recognized by Govt. of Karnataka, it provides education to about 300 disadvantaged rural children in its preschool, primary, higher primary and high school grades (KG to 10th Grade), situated in a village about 40 km east off Bangalore. ANJANA is a platform where all sections of society have converged for the cause of educating disadvantaged rural children: land for the school donated by a local philanthropist, infrastructure with facilities contributed by charity groups and corporate donors, noon-meal in partnership with local charities and running expenses met by trustees parents.
