Project `Ananya` was conceived by a group of people to establish a unique school in Bangalore , India for children who have nothing to look forward to, except a life of poverty and degradation. These children are denied education either because they do not conform to the standards laid down by society or because they do not meet the rigid criteria set by the mainstream schools. Quite often these children themselves reject the regular schools because they find nothing meaningful or relevant for them.



Ananya Trust was registered on March 8, 1998 as a charitable trust under the Society`s Registration Act of Indian law

Ananya`s school started functioning in 1998 and has 50 children on its rolls today . The school operates from its campus called `Shibumi` situated at Konanakunte, 18 kilometers from the city of Bangalore, India .
