Elementary – High School at Pawapuri, Nalanda District, Bihar

 

Pawapuri is the place where Tirthankar Mahavir gave discourses, including his last discourse at the Samosaran Temple, where he attained Nirvana (Self realization). The village has many temples, including the famous Jalmandir, but lacked the temple of learning (school). The lack of education has resulted in the severe underdevelopment of this area.

The Tirthankar Mahavir Vidya Mandir commuter school, located nearby the Temple, is equipped with science laboratories, computer laboratory, sewing learning center, and library, along with playground, and medical facility. Bus service is provided to children between home and school. The school has proven to be a fountain head of inspiration to many, inculcating high moral values along with formal academic education based on a CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) curriculum.

Elementary – High School at Lacchuar, Jamui District, Bihar

 

Lacchuar is the birth place of Tirthankar Mahavir. Veerayatan determined that the best way to overcome the challenges of the lack of education and provide hope for the people of Bihar was to create a place that offered world class education. This Tirthankar Mahavir Vidya Mandir commuter school was established while celebrating the 2600th anniversary of Tirthankar Mahavir’s Jayanti. The principal, teachers and Sadhvijis went door-to door in the town to invite families to send their children to the school.  They especially encouraged that the girls should go to school as this was not the local custom.

The school is equipped with science laboratories, computer laboratory, sewing learning center, and library, along with a large playground. Bus service is provided to children between home and school. The school has proven to be a fountain head of inspiration to many, inculcating high moral values along with formal academic education based on a CBSE curriculum.
