5th Educational Centre

In May 2017, BET (our sister organisation in India) tookover from Sanatan Sewa Mandal who could not keep their school in Dwarka running for various reasons. It is now our

of charge. The city of Dwarka was severely lagging behind in the provision of education – there was no standard 11 or 12! And so we have made it our aim to provide this within 3 years so that many of the children that previously would not have had the money to move out and continue their studies, will now have access to further education. BET has started this new Indian school year by extending up to standard 11.

Nursery Schools added

‘Anganwadis’ (Nursery schools) opened in all of our village schools as part of Anand Dhara Project. Recently the trend has been for families to send theirchildren to privately run nursery schools at a high cost.But many parents struggle to do this whilst making ends meet and as a result has caused a lot of stress amongstthem. Our aim is to help establish government-run nursery schools with a Montessori-style syllabus (Pragna syllabus),

burdening the rest of their family.

About BEHT

Inspiration behind BEHT

BEHT has been a registered charity with

registration number1072109 since 1998.

Inspiration behind BEHT is Pujya Muktanandji, who lives in Chaparda. His vision is to help his people through education. Through deep meditation, Pujya Muktanandji has come to his own conclusion that there are two main purposes in life.

‘Swha ma lin rehewu’ which means to be aware of your real self ’all the time, to understand who you are and to learn to be truly free (Mukti).Secondly, he believes ‘Jiv Shrusti ne faida thai teva kaariya karva ane karava, nirmal sahaj ane shakshi bhave’, which means that our purpose in life should be to

others to do likewise.
