Amit and Jayashree, who believe in Paolo Friere's ideas of popular education, feel that education is especially important for the tribal community. They started the school in an effort to inculcate Adivasi children with a value for learning and an awareness of important issues facing their community. The school is run by an organization named Veer Khajiya Naik Manav Vikas Pratishthan. Jayashree and Amit develop the curriculum. They strive to teach the children from an early age to think critically and to be community leaders.

Volunteering
Adharshila has been an active voice in support of alternative education in India, and has had recent audience internationally as well. We have had volunteers contribute their time here as they learn about our philosophies on learning and rural growth while sharing their own.
Some volunteers have come for longer periods to find their own answers to the questions that alternative education, rural India and rapid consumer-centric economic growth have raised. All we ask is an open mind. Contact us to explore your options.
We are always glad to answer questions. Our email address is adharshila.learningcentre (at) gmail.com
If you want to learn about or discuss larger issues related to alternative education, read and comment on our blog or discussion group
