About Gandhiniketan Ashram School

In 1946, Gandhiji blessed two teachers of the Ashram, trained in Gandhian System of education and the Ashram started a primary school with their help to translate the Gandhian vision of education into a reality and thus promoted a significant experiment in the field of basic education to the local context and to provide opportunities for students for learning not only in the classroom but also in the worksheds, farms and community.

With the changing educational policies of the government of the day these basic schools have now become primary and higher secondary schools. The primary school has 1500 students and higher secondary school has about 2500 students both boys and girls on its rolls.
