Very first photograph shows Samvid Gurukulam (Samvid International School) of Vatsalya Gram ! As per Vatsalya Gram website - 'Education is the cornerstone on which the foundation of a child’s personality is laid. That being the philosophy at Vatsalya Gram that all children living in families of Vatsalya Gram are sent to school. Samvid International School is a residential secondary school, recognized by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), which all the children at Vatsalya Gram attend together. This is an important social as well as nurturing experience for all children. The curriculum is carefully designed to blend the traditional values and modern teaching methods together. Adequate room is made into the curriculum to incorporate the concepts that focus on caring, civic virtue, citizenship, justice, fairness, respect, responsibility, and trustworthiness. Didi Maa believes that it is essential to teach these morals with confidence and conviction, as they will guide these children throughout their lives.'
Whole campus of Samvid school was quite impressive with all modern facilities within the campus. We witnessed wonderful facilities for people who love music, sports etc.

Here is a photograph of main ashram which is at the end of this campus. About three to five cottages are located in very peaceful part of the Ashram. This is the place where Didi Ma stays. Apart from cottages, there is Photo Studio in this region of the Aashram and sound recording setup. It's accessible to children and some of the kids sing really well !!!
Here is a photograph of Gokulam !
As per Vatsalaya Gram - A coherent family requires a residential unit which it can call its own. Apart from the emotional ties of a family, families also need material possessions to quantify their existence and sustenance. The residential complex is the collection of the houses where each of the Vatsalya Gram family resides. The complex is based on Vastu Shastra and each of the houses is equipped with all the amenities that a modern family requires to live comfortably and respectably. The complex is made in such a manner that the number of units are easily increased as more children are welcomed into Vatsalya Gram.
National Martyr's Museum @ Vatsalya Gram, Uttar Pradesh, India !!!
The ultimate vision of Didi Maa Sadhvi Rithambharaji is to create a younger generation that respects the country and works to make India a proud nation. To inculcate these values in young children, as well as the masses who visit Vatsalya Gram every now and then, respected Didi Maa Ritambharaji has set-up a 'National Martyrs Museum', which would be a reminder of the patriotism of many, who laid their life for the country.
Cow Shed (Gaushala) ...
In a Hindu household, the cow is worshiped for many reasons. We all grow up on healthy cow’s milk and therefore, a cow is considered next only to the mother. The Kamdhenu Gaushala at Vatsalya Gram provides a continuous supply of fresh milk and other dairy products, all of which are manufactured in-house. Keeping in line with the traditions and the culture, the cow is honored and worshiped as the mother at Vatsalya Gram and as a sign of respect, is given residence at a clean and well maintained cow shed.
Inside Vatsalya Gram, Bhanushree Granthalaya is a unique program where visitors can get acquainted with the history of our proud nation. Granthalaya is a reminder of the great sacrifice that has been made to make the country what it is today, but also the great civilization that India was, and continues to be.
Whole campus is quite clean and well maintained with lot of green area around the place. Vatsalya Gram Aashram has lot of plants, trees and flowers.
