History
.............................................................................................................................................................
............................................................................................................................................................. Team: Swamij Yogesh Puri, Kriyashakti, Swami Niranjanpuri, Abhayanand, Ashokanand, Purnanand Swami Yogesh Puri Ji and his team of dedicated engineers have worked tirelessly in the construction of the buildings of the school, college, Sri Swami Madhavananda Austria Hospital and Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwaranand Puri Ji Maharaj's main project, the Om Ashram. Their spirit of selfless service allows the construction to be of the highest quality and lowest cost. The attention to detail allows our village students enjoy standards comparable to those in the biggest cities of India. ............................................................................................................................................................. In July 2002 Shree Vishwa Deep Gurukul Vidyalaya opened with admissions from 1st till 5th class. The school’s policy is to provide high standards of education at minimal cost to the children of the villages of the local area. The school started with an initial admission of 180 students. In the school year starting in July 2009 the school’s admissions had increased to 1350 with classes from 1st till 12th class. At present the school is bringing students from 23 villages in the local area. The students are getting good results in the state examinations with students coming in the top 100 students in the district in 12th class out of a total number of more than 85000 sitting the examinations. Transportation to and from school is provided by seven school buses at nominal charges. The bus facilities have been made possible through the kind donations of the Verein zum Aufbau und zur Unterstuetzung von Erziehungs und Forschungsprojekten in Indien e.V, from Germany , Yoga In Daily Life (Australia) and donations from throughout the world. Generous donors have also assisted with the purchasing of equipments and the funding for construction of classrooms and other buildings. In December 2007 a purpose built school building was completed by the Society. The new building is two stories and has the following facilities:
Within one year of the building being completed it was necessary to make an extension of another 32 classrooms which is nearing completion of the ground floor in August 2009. When completed the school will accomodate 1900 students. All girls studying in the school are educated for free and boys from poor families are also provided scholarships for their education. The scholarships are managed under the Gyan Putra scheme run by Shree Vishwa Deep Gurukul Society. Scholarships include free education, books, uniforms and notebooks. As at August 2009 there are more than 700 students in the Gyan Putra scheme.
