A galaxy of institutions

A large plot of land has been acquired at Hapur for the Shiksha Bharati project. The project is going to house at least five different educational and research institutions of different categories in the years to come. Architectural planning of the campus has also been done keeping in mind the future requirements of the institution. Of the proposed institutions, Shrimati Brahma Devi Saraswati Balika Vidya Mandir, a high school, is already serving the society while the others are in different stages of development.

Of the five institutions that are going to operate under Shiksha Bharati's umbrella, College of Education and Technology will commence its operations from the next academic session itself. Work on Saraswati Shishu Vatika, Computer Education Centre and Agricultural Research and Development Centre is also going on full-swing and these organisations should become operational within a couple of years.

Smt Brahmadevi Saraswati Balika Vidva Mandir:

The High School has been named after Mrs. Brahma Devi, a renowned social activist of the city, who always worked for the welfare of women and for spreading awareness among them. She always advocated the need for providing proper education to girls so that they can stand on their own and can contribute in the development of an educated, capable and happy society. 

Total space available with the school is 110000 sq. meters. A 400-meter long running-track is also available for the students of the school. The school has a total of 51 rooms including 5 laboratories. A library with a big study room has also been provided. Two rooms have been provided temporarily for tribal girls in the campus. 

The campus shall be developed with a network of paved roads, street lights, storm water drainage system, sewage system, water supply system, lawns of lush green grass, fountains and statues of renowned personalities such as Rani Laxmi Bai, Maharani Durgavati, Sister Navedita and the like. A temple will also be constructed at the campus.

The landscape shall be developed with plants of shade, colour and fruits. A few of commercial trees shall also be planted and developed. The main gate of the campus will be constructed on lines of the ancient Indian Temple architecture. Quotations of great personalities shall be engraved at appropriate locations. The whole campus shall be designed and developed in a way that it will reflect the Indian heritage. 

Saraswati Shishu Vatika: 

A pre-primary school with all the advanced facilities to train and develop children below the age of 5 years is planned. An estimated amount of Rs. 36 Lakh would be spent on its construction and development. The Vatika will have a big playground, an aquarium, an amusement Park with trains & toys, and a library of education films, video games and picture books.

An NOC (No Objection Certificate) for starting Shri Madhav College of Education & Technology has been obtained from Utter Pradesh Government for the year 2005-2006. The college is being planned to be one of the largest of its kind in the area. 

The institution will fulfill the need for a quality teachers' training institution in the area by providing training facility in different streams of education.

Computer Education Centre:

Presently, the centre provides computer education to class VI to class XII students. It plans to provide computer education to outside students as well, by conducting short-term courses during summer vacations, winter breaks and in the evenings. 

Two big rooms with a capacity of 50 computers each have been constructed and earmarked for the  computer laboratory. The expenditure for this centre will be approximately Rs. 53 lakh including a roof mounted LCD projector. The computer centre uses latest Pentium-IV computers with the best configurations to ensure a smooth and flawless learning experience. All the systems are properly maintained by qualified professionals, and upgraded at regular intervals.

The society has plans to establish a Research and Development Centre to conduct research in agriculture and herbal medicines. In this initiative, emphasis will be on rural development and rural hygiene. The society has already planted many rare herbal plants and has grown about 5000 trees.
