02 December - The Sri Aurobindo Ashram School was inaugurated in 1942

The Sri Aurobindo Ashram School was inaugurated on 02 December  1942 , with the vision of fostering holistic education inspired by the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. This institution emphasizes integral education, which seeks to develop every aspect of a child's personality—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—rather than focusing solely on academic achievements. Rooted in the principles of self-awareness, self-discipline, and a quest for higher consciousness, the school aims to nurture individuals who can contribute meaningfully to society. The curriculum blends traditional academic subjects with physical training, arts, and meditation practices, encouraging students to explore their potential in a supportive environment. The school stands as a living testament to Sri Aurobindo's belief in education as a transformative process and remains a beacon for those seeking a deeper, values-based approach to learning.
