Students
With pen and tractor. This is how we aim to revolutionize the education landscape in rural India.
DISCOVERWe began our journey with the question, what is education. More questions came our way and we learnt that; Education is not syllabus, it is not reciting books, not those tall buildings, not the examination, the marks scored, not the memorization and also not what we teach in schools. The relentless search for this quest lies at the effort called Abhyudaya Global Village School.
Abhyudaya Global Village School, started in 2010, works with a vision to build a generation of self-reliant agri-preneurs and active decision makers of the rural economy.
"When he joined AGVS he wanted to do a job. He was given the responsibility of ‘teaching’ kindergarten students..."
"Fulfilling pressing need for the emotional well being of the students to be engaged in something meaningful in the day..."
"Abhyudaya Global Village School completed its 10 years on 14th June 2020. It has been a decade of learning experiences..."
Our fast changing world will surely challenge the standard and structured schooling. Merely memorizing and scoring in standardized tests is obsolete. AGVS focuses on identifying the fundamentals and strengthening them. While it is conventional to memorize, our students learn to conceptualize. When others grade them by competition, our students score by collaboration. While majority in society are consumers, our students are producers.
Our goal is to provide a strong base for the future of rural India.
And the values we upholad are:
Started in 2010, the school is committed to build a generation of self-reliant agripreneurs and active decision makers. Currently we cater to 300 students from agrarian families spread over eighteen villages.
We're only as strong and as knowledgeable as our team. So here are the men and women which help customers meet goals and grow companies

A concept program, Weekend Gurukul is designed for urban individuals (students & working people) who are willing to explore the nature. It gives them an opportunity to...
Breath pure air,
See & experience the greenry,
Taste & enjoy our farm grown organic food,
Touch & Feel the soil,
Listen to the songs of birds & animals of the farm,
And Engage in soul enriching conversations under starry night sky.
Education should importantly be about helping students find out what they are good at, and empower them. Hence our school is dedicated at nurturing self learning, problem solving thinking and being good at heart. To practice these principles, we have appointed the mightiest as our teacher. Yes ! we learn from mother Nature. Students practice Agriculture in our school and it is one of the most effective tool of learning. They spend one hour daily on their personal and collaborative farming plots. They just do not grow crops, their thinking grows with it. They cultivate patience, dedication, faith, mutuality and gratitude.
Agri-preneurship is not just about sowing & reaping the crop but adding value to it. Not only adding value to the product but to life. Not only adding value to one's own life but to the life of others as well. It is a journey of sons & daughters of the soil touching souls. We are adding value to our produce through wooden oil expeller, pulvurizer & floor mill to demonstrate the above statement. We also have a cow shed & nursury of plants. Our residential children volunter to takecare & learn from them.
Our students come from the families of farmers and farm labors staying in remote villages. To harbor more participative living, we have residential school for them. Their day starts by sports, yoga, meditation, inner awareness and it ends with interactive discussions on vivid topics. Because challenges for every student will be unique, students need to be independent thinkers. In testing times ahead, they will need qualities like lateral thinking, problem solving, ability to learn and expressing themselves. Our students imbibe these by experiencing the joy of creation.
