School with hostel facility Him Jyoti School, Dehradun

DESCRIPTION :

We are a social transformation program working relentlessly with the purpose of empowering girls from remote areas of Uttarakhand. The girls come from economically deprived sections of society and face the disparity in educational facilities that exists between India’s cities and remote areas.
We believe that with a focus on “free” quality education, holistic development, and exposure to opportunities, the girls will get the wings to fly and dream bigger and bolder! We are providing the girls with the platform to develop their potential and give back to their communities.
Him Jyoti School started as the dream of our Founder Late Shri Sudarshan Agarwal Ji (Former Governor of Uttarakhand and Sikkim). From 40 students and 2 teachers in 2005 in a small, rented facility, the school has now grown to 280 girls from Classes 5 to 12 and 25 teachers, with free boarding for girls and residences for the teachers.
