More than 120 students are studying from 1st class to 10th class. The School is recognized by H.P. and also affiliated to the H.P. Board of School Education, Dharamshala. Nearly 14 years have passed since the establishment of our School, which has been serving, since 2006, not only the Buddhist children of Lahoul Spiti, Paldar,UT. Ladakh, Zanskar, Kullu and Manali, but also children of different religious backgrounds from the regions of Kullu, Manali, Pangi, Lahoul- Spiti, Mandi, etc. Almost six batches of students has been passed out from school till now and pursuing their higher studies from different states some of our students are serving for the country in Indian Army. Almost 120 kids are currently being cared for and educated thanks to our most generous sponsors and other donators who have financed all our premises and its facilities. Therefore, we have not sought involvement with undignified political activities nor with dubious behavior. Neither in the past nor in the coming future a single pence has ever been given, collected or sought from the dubious sources.
