"We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one's own feet."
- Swami Vivekananda

This engenders a sense of kinship and commitment to their brethren giving rise to national consciousness and a sense of patriotism. It also spurs economic growth and social progress, necessary prerequisites for a country to become great.

Approximately 475 girls from tribal communities are studying in this school. Within one year, these students have achieved noteworthy successes both in academics and various sports activities.

Surya Sanskar Kendra
Surya Foundation runs Surya Sanskar Kendras in 234 villages in 18 states of India. Children from grades 1 to 6 come to these centres for education and character building. The centres offer activities that help children develop both physically and mentally.

They no longer need help from others to read letters and have even started managing their own bank accounts.

Surya Bharti Books
Under the aegis of Surya Foundation, Surya Bharti Books has published a set of textbooks designed for students from class 1 to class 5. Inputs from prominent educationists from institutions such as NCERT, DIET, NIOS, KVS, NVS, And VIDYA BHARTI etc., were obtained and incorporated in these books, which follow the one-class-one-book (all subjects integrated) approach.
In a single book, the entire curriculum of a class is integrated according to the guidelines of the National Education Policy 2020. This not only reduces the burden on students but also lowers the cost associated with education. Moreover, these books provide an excellent tool for students to learn through creative discussions, analysis, examples, and practical applications.
These books are being introduced in more and more educational institutions and schools across the country, following different educational programs and schemes.
