It has always been looking ahead and marching forward for Gyanodaya
ever since. The journey that began as a Pre-Primary School in 1975
culminated into a Secondary level institution in 1986. And over
the years, Gyanodaya has developed in size, dimension, content and
scope, and acquired an enviable aura. It has grown rapidly, and
today it stands tall as one of the premier institutions of higher
learning in the country imparting education now up to the Bachelor's
level.
Today it is a consortium of a number of educational institutions
comprising of two Secondary Schools -- one catering primarily to
the needs of day students another developed exclusively for residential
students -- both imparting education leading to certificate level
awarded by the School Leaving Certificate Board of the Government
of Nepal; a Higher Secondary School meeting the 10+2 educational
needs of the students affiliated to the Higher Secondary Board of
the Country;
a College affiliated to the Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, offering
a three-year Bachelor's Degree in Business Studies with plans afoot
to start in the near future other streams in science and humanities;
and a Social Service Division institutionalising Gyanodaya's active
involvement of over three decades in social service and community
work. This Division, among others, runs a full-fledged formal pre-primary
education classes free for children of the deprived and underprivileged
community, and also informal adult literacy classes for all interested
women.
If the credit for this growth and expansion has to go to any one
person, it has to be the Founder Principal of Gyanodaya Bal Batika
Mrs. Indira Yakthumba. Gyanodaya stands for her courage to withstand
many challenges and march ahead with quiet confidence and determination
in the face of many odds.
