Maa Sarada Vivekananda Ramakrishna (MSVR) Mission Academy (Dwarir Jungle, Sundarban)

The success and experiences from our 1st schools give us enough courage to start our Second school at Dwarir Jangal Sundarban. The original primary school was destroyed by the super cyclone and with the help of AIBEA (All India Banking Employment Association) we were able to rebuild the school. The school building is also used as a Cyclone Shelter Centre in this region. This is the first English medium school in that region and its surrounding islands. We introduce the workshop for the native people on Animal husbandry, Fishing, Organic farming and Production of Bio fertilizer. After a period of two years, we have noticed some partial economical upgrades. Through those skill build-up programs we are able to run the school at subsidized fees from free schools.

Why we select Dwarir Jangal ?

There are several reasons to choose this place, here we discussed in below:

In terms of population density and child population, this Island is very large and the spread of education here is not that much.
The education rate is very low here, especially the female education rate is very low.
The island is easily accessible as it is well connected by rail (Caning Rail Station) or road (Dhamakhali bus stop is only 5 KM).

Story from the Ground (Dwarir Jangal

Dwarir Jangal is an Island under Sandeshkhali 2 block of Sundarban region, West Bengal. Here the original primary school was destroyed by the super cyclone and with the help of AIBEA (Mr. Ragan Nagar and his team) we were able to rebuild the school. The school building is also used as a Cyclone Shelter Centre in this region. This is the first English medium school in that region and its surrounding islands. When we started the English medium school we have decided to maintain a minimum fees for the school but we have also declared those guardians who will not capable with that they can apply for the concession. Unfortunately the all of them asked for the concession due to their poor economic condition. Then we decided at first we have to build their economic condition before the education. We help them to prepare animal husbandry in full organic way at their houses by provided all the necessaries too, and since it is an island so here many people engaged with the Pisciculture, we help them in the Organic Pisciculture with proper training. Now all the people of the Island now economically stable with their respective economic activities. All the guardian now send their children at our school i.e. MSVR Mission Academy, Dwarir Jangal and now they are also capable the school fees for the children. Thus we spread the education in that Island with the sustainable economic growth of the families of that Island.
