R K Sarda Vidya Ashram, is promoted by Shri Ramkishore Sarda Seva Trust with firm belief that children are our great assets for the nation. In our school, we train the children by inculcating our traditional values, good habits and logical understanding to face the challenges of 21st century. Our school shall be coeducation day school, which will be affliated to C.B.S.E (Central Board of Secondary Education).
The school is spread over an area of 4.5 acres with eco-friendly environment. The school will motivate the children by integrating sports, hobby activities, community service, special day celebration, excursion and field trip etc. We, will be providing the educational facilities for our students from JKG to Class - V and in the next academic year we will extend our Classes till VII. Over a period of 5 years, we will become a full fledged Senior Secondary school. In Senior Secondary level, we will be providing Science and Commerce streams.
The Group has adopted 270 single-teacher schools in the tribal areas of Chhattisgarh for providing basic education. In addition, we also assist primary and secondary schools around its facilities for strengthening their infrastructure. A full-fledged school in the Siltara industrial area - Raipur, has been proposed with the aid of Ramakrishna Vivekananda Ashram, catering to the educational needs of the children of industrial workers and from the surrounding villages. Besides, a school at Khadgoan village (near the Company's captive iron ore mines) has been provided with a new building, uniforms, books and other supplies.
Potable water is scarce in many villages, especially in summer. A tube well was built in the Khadgaon village at our iron ore mining site. The Tada village was also equipped with bore wells at the village centre. Cleaning and desalination of lakes across such villages is an periodical activity carried out by the Group.
We recognize our responsibility to operate in harmony with our local communities. The Group actively sponsors medical facilities, assisting in primary healthcare across villages. It acquired a well-equipped ambulance and set up first-aid facilities in the villages surrounding its mines. These sponsored units fulfilled the need for low-cost and high-quality medical assistance for the economically underprivileged. Apart from these initiatives, the Group has adopted a cluster of villages near its iron ore mines in Rajnandgaon District. We provide these villages with basic amenities such as elementary education, clothes, woolen blankets and health care on an annual basis.
