About SRC

Shree Ramkrishna Charity

Laying foundation for better tomorrow…

Shree Ramkrishna Charities (SRC) was established in 1969 in Mumbai, India, and is one of the few effectively running education NGOs. It started with educating just five students from a village near Wai, District Satara, Maharashtra, India. And the figure has grown exponentially to include 2560 children from more than forty schools to date under the Rural Child Education Campaign in India.

Today more than 40,000 children have benefited from the services provided by SRC under the Rural child education campaign. 

After the formation of Shree Ramkrishna Charities and awareness of the appropriate method of education growth, the trustees decided to follow a different approach to teaching methodology that involved a more hands-on experience and a practical learning approach for the students. A new school based on a fresh model named Bharat Vidyalay was started that could be pursued as a model school. The school is based in the village of Shahabag, Taluka Wai, District Satara, Maharashtra (85 km or 53 miles south of Pune) in 2003.

The new approach to teaching showed exemplary results, and it served as a model for all the neighboring schools. Bharat Vidyalay has excellent facilities along with a dedicated set of volunteers and teachers. The staff and volunteers are self-motivated and trained in state-of-the-art methods and are completely devoted to providing these students with the best learning experiences.
