Discover. Learn. Thrive.
Vidya Vriksh Gurukul is an activity-based learning centre designed to meet the educational needs of the children of Kishan Nagar Village in Uttar Pradesh, India. Most of our students are the children of local Tharu community comprised mostly of farm labourers who have worked at Kishan Nagar farm since 1955. Our goal is to ensure that each child develops into a well-rounded individual who can achieve their full potential.
This is a project of the Bhalla Khurana Anand Educational Trust.
We strive to help each child realize their full potential to become productive adults who are engaged in life-long learning and problem-solving.
We offer a holistic activity-based program focused on physical, social, emotional, & cognitive development.
