Tumkur campus
​
Education for All, in cooperation with Prashanthi Bala Mandir Trust (PBMT) is also supporting the construction of a beautiful new campus for boys in the rural village of Tumkur, about 80 Miles from the city of Bangalore. This campus is a special program of the USA region which is building the infrastructure of this much-needed campus. It will provide 6th to 12th grade education and will feature all needed facilities to provide the highest level of character and academic education including the most up to date computer labs.
Named SSS Karunya Niketanam (Abode of Compassion), this campus is located on over 40 acres of land. The 120,000 square feet of buildings will provide classrooms, living accommodation for students and staff, conference halls, dining facilities and a kitchen for food preparation. Additionally, there will be parks and a number of sports fields for the student’s physical development.
This campus is a “start from scratch” project in that we will need to build secured boundaries, roads, drinking water facilities and a sewage treatment plant. Like all of the Loka Seva Group of Institutions, Tumkur is designed to be as “green” as possible and will also feature solar power generating facilities.
SSS Karunya Niketanam is already in operation. The land has been purchased and temporary structures housing and educating 60 students (grade 6 to 8) and 10 staff are in use. The first phase of the permanent school/hostel construction has been completed on Jul, 2024. The final phases are estimated to be completed in 3-5 years.
As in all of our institutions, everything including education, food, lodging, cloth and books are provided to all students at no cost.
Doddaballapur Campus:
Doddaballapur is a full fledged residential school planned for girls in the rural district, 30 Miles away from Bengaluru, India. The school when fully built will have classes from 6th grade to 12th. Like any other schools operated by Prashanthi Bala Mandir Trust, this school will also have all the facilities including hostel, play grounds, prayer hall, dairy farm, labs and other necessities.
​
The land has been acquired. Due to COVID there was a delay in starting the construction of the school. As the situation is improved now, the first phase of the construction has already began and now in the roofing stage. The school has been operational since 2022 in a temporary facility away from the actual site.
​
At this stage people can participate in the initial phase of construction.
