Prerana Vidyalaya
Started in March 2017, Prerana Vidyalaya, Kathiya, Bemetara, Chhattisgarh is a Higher Secondary English-medium Residential School affiliated with the Chhattisgarh Board. Inspired by the co-existential philosophy of Madhyasth-Darshan (Propounded by Venerable Shri A Nagraj Ji), this school is an initiative towards the humanisation of education. Gandhi Vidya Mandir, Sardarshahar, Churu, Rajasthan has played a pioneering role in helping transform this initiative into reality. The primary responsibility of functioning of Prerana Vidyalaya is shouldered by families of Manav Teerth - a centre for study and practice of Madhyasth Darshan.

Teacher - Student ratio
- By maintaining a healthy balance in numbers between teachers and students we ensure that the class/school isn’t too crowded. Having too many children implies less attention towards each child’s development. A child can get lost in a crowd. There is a lot of fear one feels in crowded spaces. There is also a sense of disorientation. An example is at the beginning and end of the day when the bell rings all children rush out of the classrooms, into the corridors to head to the bus. There is chaos and this is particularly stressful and intimidating for younger children.
- The idea is to also maintain a healthy school strength that is balanced and allows for enough attention to each child without overcrowding.
- The intention is also to avoid too many sections in order to avoid crowding as well as competition.
- Discipline and good behaviour require a healthy /appropriate number of students. Too many would lead to a crowd which could lead to chaos.
