A. Urban Schools: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Vidya Mandir (SSRVM)
Children in urban communities are given value-based education at SSRVM. Besides
functioning as full fledged schools, these also act as centers of excellence to
train the faculty and develop innovative programs to be implemented by the rural
and slum schools in adjoining areas. This unique symbiotic relationship has made
a two tier setup which bridges the knowledge divide between urban and rural areas.
