FEATURES

GITS School Vrindavan

Great Indian Talent School (GITS), Vrindavan, will be a place of learning that focuses on providing free education to children from economically disadvantaged families in and around Vrindavan. Educating the younger generation will relieve these families from the cycle of poverty. We aim to contribute towards the development of the region, state and nation through the GITS initiative.

The school will be located within the Vrindavan Heritage Tower campus, the upcoming cultural heritage infrastructure in Vrindavan. The children of GITS will be provided free uniforms, books, stationery and other school supplies. They will be served fresh, hot, nutritious meals every afternoon through our Akshaya Patra mid-day meal programme. We will also provide transportation to pick up and drop the children at the nearest point from their homes. These facilities will encourage them to attend school regularly and instil confidence in parents that their wards are in safe hands.

GITS, Vrindavan, will make learning a joyful experience for every student from kindergarten to high school. The school will include well-furnished and ventilated classrooms, staff rooms, laboratories, seminar halls, a library and a playground. Clean drinking water and hygienic sanitation facilities will be available on the premises. Well-qualified teachers will be appointed to train the students on par with their urban counterparts. The school will design a special curriculum for kindergarten children and adhere to the state syllabus from primary school onwards.

The students will get an opportunity to go on field trips and excursions to heritage sites and places of historical importance. As the school will be in proximity to Vrindavan Heritage Tower, they will also get exposure to the Indian spiritual culture. We wish to contribute to the holistic development of the children by integrating value education and personality development skills along with their academics. This will mould them to become socially and morally responsible citizens of our country.

 

ABOUT THE

Project

Great India Talent School is an endeavour to nurture the natural inclinations of children and provide a holistic education, enabling them to secure a better future for themselves, their family, and their community.

We aspire to educate, enable, and empower children of rural communities in India by setting up multiple educational institutions that will provide them with the options to pursue higher education in their fields of interest while remaining grounded. We also contribute to the socio-economic development of the region by providing employment opportunities to youth and women in GITS and the Akshaya Patra kitchen.

Need for the Project

Knowledge is the only treasure that keeps growing the more it is shared and remains for a lifetime. About 41.8% of the rural population in India is below the poverty line, and among them, 60% are children. We need to further inclusive growth, wherein the rural population, especially children and youth, are empowered through training, education, and skill development.

GITS, Vrindavan aims to relieve the underprivileged families in Vrindavan from the cycle of poverty by providing free education to their children. We will offer the best education that will focus on their holistic development. We also wish to create a strong relationship between students, teachers, parents and the communities through our school.
