Welcome!

We are a nonprofit organization working in Bakrour ( Sujata Village ) in Bodhgaya, Bihar, one of the poorest areas of India . Gautam Buddh Free Education Center was created to provide free education in English, Hindi, Mathematics, Science, Sanskrit and Social Studies to the children of poor families. These children are of lower caste families without money to pay for their education.

During the monsoon and winter seasons we have many problems. The rain and cold weather create much difficulty for the children and teachers, especially since we currently hold classes on the porch of an abandoned government building. We set up our school to serve four villages in an area where no government organization currently exists. In these villages, the standard of living is very low. Many people still live in houses made of mud and dating as far back as medieval times. The children from such families remain naked throughout the year due to lack of proper clothes. Therefore, we concentrate our work mainly on these areas which are totally neglected otherwise.

Classes for grades1 to 5 are held from 06:00 am to 09:30 am on Monday to Saturday, after which both teachers and pupils go off to work. Interested parties are invited to visit the school any day, but come early! We are located just outside (2 km) of Bodhgaya.
