We’re on a mission…

In a country where the Vedas and Upanishads were once the main source of textbooks and the values ​​of life were taught in gurukuls, childhood is being robbed in the name of education. Today’s overwhelmingly large education system has taken a toll on children, while ignoring life’s most essential skills and lessons. At such a juncture, Rongghor is on a mission to revive the old principles of imparting education, while keeping the children happy and motivated.

A brain well-formed is better than 20 brains well-filled.

Entering the precincts of “Rongghor –School of happiness”. I felt a sense of peace and joy. The atmosphere of the school is indeed very serene and gives off an aura of being in a “gururkul”. My sincere thanks to the founder of the school with a difference giving a safe space for the little children to have their talent. I am sure the school will be instrumental in producing all rounded personalities and persons with “humaneness”, something that has become very critical todays world filled with materialism.

Rongghor- The school of happiness is truly a place where I feel anyone who would spend some time will surely feel happy. The ambiance, the people here everything is perfect, this place is best to foster learning. All the kids here are being trained to be a better human rather than forcing them to follow a strict routine to get better marks in exams.

On the 82nd foundation day of UCO Bank, team Silpukhuri branch and I got invited to Rongghor, managed by founder and principal shri Hari Prasad Talukdar. Delighted to know that the institute teaches in non-conventional ways. I too interacted with the students, and it has been a blessing. A small program of sapling tree plantation was done successfully today in the interest of UCO bank’s foundation day.

I wish Rongghor team and students all the very best in future endeavors.

A Word

From Our Principal

How many of us tell our children to love the beautiful moon in the night sky, see the stars that shine at us, listen to the fairy tales sitting next to their grandparents or encourage our children to do what they love doing? These thoughts have lost their importance in the hustle and bustle of modern life. Children have become machines and the joy of childhood, the happiness of life has been lost. Therefore at Rongghor, I am dedicated of teaching students to discover themselves and their passions, while keeping them happy and motivated through good habit formation techniques, increased interest in reading, improvement of physical, mental health and spiritual practices. It is our responsibility to make childhood enjoyable. We look forward to your help in this journey.”
