Ved Vignan Maha Vidya Peeth Ved Vignan Maha Vidya Peeth“Basic human values need to be encouraged in the classroom. A child is born with these values and a teacher needs to uncover them.” – Sri Sri Over the last three decades, The Art of Living is revolutionizing education in India. Importance has been given to promoting girl child education, reaching out to underprivileged sections of society, and integrating human values into the educational system. It is only through education that social transformation and economic freedom can be sought. Today women are leaders who eptiomize the human values of caring, sharing and re-building societies free of stress and violence. Ved Vignan Maha Vidya Peeth is an Educational, Charitable Trust committed to providing Holistic Education to children in rural areas. VVMVP started its first free rural school VVMVP provides free education, transport, uniforms, books, stationary, and mid-day meals to all students. The story of this ‘One School’, has been the inspiration for setting up 92 such schools all over the country - not only in the rural areas but also the interior tribal areas. 10,000 children from economically challenged backgrounds benefit annually. "For the first time I feel that women are not beneath men – that we are equals and can do things equally well and even better.” - Shilpa, A VVMVP student since Standard II "My daughter, Dukhi, is the first person in our entire family to be getting an education. The others do not even know how to read or write. So, we are very grateful for this." - Jaba Soren, Jharkhand (Her daughter studies in a tribal school run by The Art of Living) "My elder sister is a shepherd. I would have also done the same thing. However, The Art of Living volunteers approached my father and persuaded him to send me to the tribal school at Chakdah."- Bali Kiksu, West Bengal |

M.,
age 26 “I had decided to go back to my anti-depressants before this (The Art of Living) course, but now I don’t need them. I will practice these techniques every single day for the rest of my life. I only hope other people are lucky enough to take this course. It has given me more help than I could have ever imagined possible. Thank you.”

"Before this experience, I was sad, depressed and starting to lose hope because of the situation here in Iraq. Now, after only four days, I feel confident in myself – happier, have hopes and dreams again and I feel that life is so beautiful. I have started to love everyone and physically I have much more energy and am able to do more things. I want to thank you very much for helping all of us feel better.”  Focus |
