“Providing opportunities for academic and cultural education in line with traditional values”
The story of Golden Avatar Gurukula (school) started in 1998 with the humble vision of one undergraduate student called Dalia, in the small town of Nabadwip, West Bengal. She herself had struggled financially to receive an education and so, made a conviction, to help at least one other student. After Dalia's graduation, one student became a few, which became twenty-four in 2009. The school continues to grow today, with a current total of seventy-eight students being cared for, from Grade One to Upper Secondary and Tertiary. With the help and support of people from overseas, the school continues to flourish and provide opportunities for all throughout the community. The captivating Transcendental Art produced by the students at Golden Avatar Gurukula are for sale, and have now become an inspiring enterprise. In collaboration with the Golden Avatar Trust opportunities for academic and cultural education in line with the traditional values of the community, provide positive growth and identity for each child and their families.
The Education Initiative of the Golden Avatar Gurukula aims to not only educate, but to transform students into empowered, self-directed learners, with the capability to lead, and the ability to face life challenges. This is achieved by providing a full holistic education including not only academic subjects, but arts, music, dance, sports, martial arts, vocational training and farming. In a nurturing and family-like environment, students pursue their studies finding purpose and the confidence to pursue meaningful lives.
