EDUCATION

In the year 1954 the first Ashram school was started. Hence this facilitated in developing a hope and liking for education among the tribals. Seeing the further need of educational requirement of the tribals many new schools were opened in the area. Primary schools were opened in Jamnia (Tehsil – Yaval), Abhoda, Gaurkheda, Mohamandali, & Pimpri. A madhyamik3 school was opened at Lohara.
