Opening the Doors of our New School in Nagpur

    Today we open doors to our 7th Akanksha school in Nagpur!

    August 2021 was when we first took our step in Nagpur. We came with a hope to reimagine what education could look like for children in government schools, and with a belief that every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and shine.

    At the time, the world was just finding its breath after the pandemic, and so were we. Six schools that run till Grade 4 became the starting point of something new.

    With the consistent support of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), those buildings transformed into bright, safe, English-medium schools. Repairs, fresh paint, safe drinking water, and functional infrastructure held a powerful message: children deserve beautiful spaces to learn.

    Admissions were fully transparent, through a lottery-based system, so every family felt a fair chance to dream.

    Our social workers carried that message of hope into homes, assuring parents that there was a school ready to see their children thrive. Our teachers came not only with degrees, but with passion and belief. Even when classrooms could not yet be filled due to the pandemic, we turned phones and small screens into learning spaces for our youngest learners. Step by step, the roots of Akanksha in Nagpur grew deeper.

    From those early days, we have grown to 1,800+ students and 150+ dedicated teachers, social workers, and counselors. More than numbers, this growth represents trust, relationships, and a community choosing to believe in a different kind of education.

    Today, as we open Rai Bahadur Goverdhandas Gopikisan Rajaramka Agrawal Nagpur Municipal Corporation English Medium School in Sadar, we carry forward four years of learning, joy, and shared belief. The school begins with Junior KG and Senior KG, and will gradually grow year by year to add higher grades.

    This milestone belongs to the parents who trusted us, the children who inspire us, the teachers and staff who walk the journey every day, and to NMC for standing shoulder to shoulder with us.
