I had the privilege of personally visiting Rugna Seva Mandal Trust's Jai Balaji Madhyamik Vidyalay, the school set up and run by the Takane Family in Methi Village, Dhule District. I am absolutely amazed and awestruck by what they have achieved. They have actually managed to bring to village children, an education that any large city in India would be proud of. As a result, the sustained upliftment and prosperity that they have brought to the region is immeasurable. I wish that they are given the strength and the resources to continue this stellar work.

You have to visit this place to believe the fantastic work that they do all day, every day! My love and luck to them always!

We visited the school in December and the experience was a life changer for me. What bowled me over was the dedication of the teachers and the care takers towards the children. ...Read More

I personally visited the School and was amazed to see the involvement and enthusiasm amongst both the teachers and children. ...Read More
