Raipur : Aastha Residential School located in Dantewada, South Bastar is today writing a new chapter of life for those children who were away from education due to Maoist violence, insecurity and poverty. This institute is not only providing a safe environment to orphan and destitute children, but is also taking unique initiatives towards making them capable, self-reliant and responsible citizens. This confluence of sensitivity and modern education has today become the identity of the district.
Foundation of Faith – Beginning the Journey of Change
Aastha Residential School was started in the year 2007-08 as Gurukul Residential School in the district headquarters. This effort, which started with limited resources, has gradually expanded and has now developed into the modern form of Javanga Education City. The selection of children in the school is done by a district level committee headed by the District Collector, so that only eligible and needy children get admission. This process ensures that every child not only gets an education, but also gets the environment he or she needs most, a safe, sensitive and stimulating environment.
Modern facilities and safe environment
With time, Javanga Education City has become an educational center with state-of-the-art facilities, where the all-round development of children is taken care of. Spacious and safe campus, modern classrooms, well-organized library, computer lab and sports grounds are the main features here. Activities like music and yoga give direction to the mental balance and physical development of children. A full-time superintendent in the hostel ensures the safety and care of the children, so that the children feel a warm and family-like environment. Every child who studies here can feel confident that he or she is safe and sincerely looked after.
Continuous initiative towards building a complete life*
The basic objective of the institute is not only to educate children but also to teach them to live a balanced and disciplined life. Balanced and nutritious food, timely health services, clean uniforms and essential items of daily life are provided, so that children can concentrate on their studies and achieving their dreams without any worries. The environment here makes children self-reliant and develops confidence in them that they can reach their goals despite difficulties.
Skill Development- Effort to give wings to talents
Skill development has been made an integral part of education in Aastha Residential School. There is an opportunity to nurture the talents of children through computer education, multimedia training, art skills, physical education and various sports activities. Educational tours and cultural programs boost the self-confidence of children and bring new shine to their personality. Special activities organized during leisure time connect children with new experiences, which play an important role in shaping their future.
Health Protection- Message of ‘Healthy Body, Healthy Mind’
Children’s health is kept paramount in the school. Under the “Healthy Body, Healthy Mind” scheme, regular health check-ups, medical check-ups and necessary treatments are provided. The aim of this system is to ensure that children not only excel in studies but also remain physically healthy and active. Development of a healthy mind is possible only in a healthy body and the school adopts this principle with full devotion.
Success Stories: Children of faith, pride of the district
Aastha Residential School has written success stories of many such children, who have become a source of inspiration for the district. In the year 2024-25, two talented students of class 9th Ravindra Netam and Shreyansh Bhaskar were selected in the prestigious Prayas Residential School of the state. This achievement is not only a testament to the quality education of the school, but also a symbol of the hard work and strong will of those children. In the current academic session 2025-26, 100 boys and 100 girls are studying here, who are taking steps towards their bright future by taking advantage of this powerful scheme.
Essence of faith- Children can change the future if given the opportunity.
Aastha Residential School today is a living example of the truth that if given sensitivity and right direction, any child can rise above his circumstances and create his own identity. This institute is not just a school, but a new hope for those children who were once away from education and a secure life. Every child coming out from here gives the message that if given an opportunity, children can change not only their lives but also the future of the society.
