100% pass in the 10th standard (2015-16) batch

Join me in congratulating them on their wonderful results!!

Gurukulam Vocational Training Centre (GVTC)

Gurukulam Vocational Training Centre (GVTC), is a concept today. It needs your help to become a reality!

We started the concept of Gurukulam, to provide free education to underprivileged children. Today, we have done well, thanks to your support!

Our first batch of 10th standard children (2014-15) passed out, with 93% getting first class, under the NIOS board. 

2015-16 we had a 100% pass in the 10th standard. 

2015-16 saw Gurukulam adjudged a “Golden School” by the Indian Talent Exam Board. We were within the best 100 schools in the State, with over 6 Gold medals. 

2015-16 also saw our children shine in the National Science Olympiads, with an International rank of 11 by our student in the English Olympiad.

 To complete the concept, we propose to start Gurukulam Vocational Training Centre (GVTC) that will enable the child to stand on his/her own legs! 

We need your support to make this a reality.

We propose to teach skills in Electrical, Plumbing, Carpentry, Cooking, Sewing. We should be partnering with a well-known chain of beauty clinics to start a “beautician course”. 

We would like your support to start GVTC.

GVTC requirements:

5 Class rooms @ Rs 900,000.00  =  Rs 4,500,000.00

Staircase                                       =  Rs 500,000.00

Materials and running cost          =  Rs 3,500,000.00

Do join us in making this a reality for the children. 

Selvam donates "ties and belts" for our children

Selvam has donated ties and belts for the entire school to spruce up our existing uniforms!

His thoughts towards making this contribution - smarter uniforms would lead the children towards better self esteem and better discipline!

Look at our children now! :-)

LKG Admissions 2016-17

KPMG's plan to make Gurukulam go "SOLAR"

KPMG has wonderful plans for Gurukulam!

The entire school will be powered by solar energy! 

The school sees a power cut of almost 3 to 4 hours everyday with power from EB. The voltage fluctuation is so much that it affects all our electrical equipment. 

KPMG came up with a solution - Solar Energy!

We are probably the first school in the whole neighbourhood to shift completely to solar energy.

Thank you KPMG team :-)

KPMG volunteers brighten the school with their colourful work!

28th May 2016

The new academic year starts on a brighter note!

Volunteers from KPMG made the school brighter by painting all the desks and chairs of our students!

From all the children and staff of Gurukulam - a heartfelt BIG Thank You!!!
