The school won the prestigious Wipro Earthian Award for two consecutive years. The awards comprise of Rs. 2 lacs cash prize and certificates for participating students.
Anubhuti English Medium School
Anubhuti English Medium School was conceived by Dr. Bhavarlal Jain and instituted in Jalgaon to provide quality English Medium Education to the children of the most deprived and underprivileged part of our society — those that live Below the Poverty Line!
The school was opened on 11th July, 2011. It started with 180 students in Classes I and II. Today the school has 330 students. The children had absolutely no background of an English medium education. The school is growing each year as the children progress to a higher class.
This school for underprivileged children is providing quality education with facilities comparable to the best schools. The classrooms have furniture and facilities specially designed for children. The children get a sense of responsibility for that which is their individual belonging as well as for those that are community objects. This directly reflects one of the principles of education at Anubhuti, where the limitations of individuality and need for inter-dependence are emphasized.
An excellent library stocked with children’s books and magazines is also provided. Co-curricular activities of music, dance and fine arts are a regular part of schooling. The school provides nutritious food three times a day. They are also provided with all clothes, books, educational material and medical attention.
As part of the Socially Useful Production Work of the Anubhuti Residential School, the senior students visit Anubhuti English Medium School to interact with the children. The two groups of children put up entertainment and demos for each other. This integration of children from different social strata in an educational set-up are mutually beneficial – the positive social and economic ramifications of this would be unfolded years later, as these children grow.
