A Vision Born from Compassion
Priyobondhu Bohumukhi Bidyalay is a flagship initiative of the Archana Borthakur Educational Trust, Guwahati, Assam. It is the realization of a lifelong dream of Archana Borthakur- social worker, entrepreneur, and Founder and Managing Trustee of the Trust.
This network of primary schools- located in Narengi, 2 No. Robingaon, Dharbam, and Paschim Killing- aims to empower disadvantaged children from slums, streets, and remote villages by providing them with access to free, quality education and holistic development opportunities.
In many low income households, education often takes a backseat to more immediate survival needs. Millions of children across India and the world are deprived of even the most basic literacy, numeracy, and life skills blocking their path to a brighter future. At Priyobondhu Bohumukhi Bidyalay, we believe-
Education is a right not a privilege.
Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive.
What Makes Us Different
1. Absolutely Free
We collect no fees of any kind- education, meals, uniforms, books, supplies- everything is provided free of charge.2. Activity Based and Experiential Learning
We use a child-centered, flexible and interactive teaching model focusing on independent thinking, creativity and life skills.3. Nutritious Meals Every Day
Children receive healthy breakfasts and lunches, prepared with whole grains, fresh fruits, and dairy to support physical development.4. Essential Supplies and Uniforms
From textbooks to uniforms and hygiene kits- we ensure that no child is held back due to financial constraints.5. Emotional and Physical Wellbeing
We offer regular health checkups and emotional support to address the psychosocial challenges many of these children face.
We aim to root children in the rich literary and cultural heritage of Assam- its history, folk music, dances, and traditions. This cultural awareness is part of our holistic approach, focused on four key developmental areas-
1. Socio-Emotional Growth
2. Physical Development
3. Intellectual Advancement
4. Creative Exploration
Our story began in one of Guwahati’s most underserved slums. The environment was harsh- crumbling houses, unsafe water, open defecation, substance abuse, and poverty. Amidst these challenges, we started a small informal education center. Over time, we provided access to clean water, sanitation, food, education, and awareness programs for children and their families.
The results have been transformational. Children who were once ragpickers, victims of neglect or never had the opportunity to attend school now-
1. Look forward to the school bell
2. Read and write with confidence
3. Eat nutritious meals daily
4. Express themselves through singing, dancing, art, and play
5. Begin to dream of and contribute to a better future
This impact led to the formation of a structured school in Narengi- Priyobondhu Bohumukhi Bidyalay.
To make children Happy, Healthy, and Learned.
We believe in creating a world where every child can rise above their circumstances, and be given the tools, love, and education they deserve.
