Kantibhai felt strongly that it was in our destiny to establish a school. Strongly inspired by Dr. Daulatsingh Parmar, a retired professor who came to Pindval with his wife, Manuben. They came here with lot of enthusiasm. It was through their help and drive that in June 1995, the previously abandoned Ambar Centre sinc e 1993, was converted into the school and hostel at Pindval. The school operated without any government gra nt or witho ut c harging a ny fees. Like everything else here that we did, it was totally driven by people supports and co-operation .Today, 260 students [Boys & Girls] from class 1 to 9 study and stay at this school & hostel. They live, eat, and study on the premises, where they are provided with clothing, books, notebooks, beds, trunks, utensils and everything else they need.They form teams to handle all the chores of the school including 1 cleaning, cooking, filling water, and gardening.

To ensure that the children get modern educ ation, computer classes have been built into the curriculum. Educational films are regularly screened on TV, through the medium of DVDs.

Workshops are organized on a variety of topics including meditation & yoga, astronomy , botany a nd identificatio n of importa nt vegetation growing in the forest, and so on, to ensure the all-round development of the students.

A child is like a delicate, exquisite bud. When provided with the proper environment, nutrition and care, children can blossom like beautiful and aromatic flowers, spreading their fragrance in the world. It is in this kind of nurturing that they develop their true identity and purpose. We are flowers! Sarvodaya Parivar Trust (SPT) has been working with Gandhian-Vinoba Bhave philosophy on several infrastructural and social upliftment projects for the last 54 years in the interior tribal (Adivasi) villages of Dharampur in Gujarat. SPT has also been putting in great efforts for 27 years in educating children from this region and helping them to achieve their fullest potential. SPT has centers in Khadaki and Pindval that provide education, accommodation, meals, snacks, milk, books & uniforms for approximately 400 children at no cost to them. Along with basic education, focus is also on cultivation of the child through prayers, yoga, extra reading, cultural activities, workshops, physical education, drawing, creativity, drama, computer education etc. A main aim of the education provided is to train children to do their daily tasks independently. The end goal of the education provided at the centers is not only to enable the child to get a degree or a job, but to teach life skills and self-reliance. SPT has been providing these services without any grants from the government, funding itself solely from money received through donations. SPT firmly believes that providing education and instilling good character and values in children enables them to be future valuable citizens of our society.
