‘Paatu Maam Kamakoti’, I pay my sincere obeisance at the lotus feet of the Jagadguru Sankaracharya Sri Sri Vijayendra Saraswati Swami varu as I present the Annual Report.
In the quiet outskirts of Podili stands tall this Sri Sankara Vidyalaya within the boundary walls of the Sanatana Dharma Seva Gramam, the very first of its kind with the vision of Sankaracharya Sri Sri Vijayendra Saraswati Swami to amalgamate the Sanatana Dharma with the modern CBSE education. Education for all and – a mini village for the purpose of bringing together Vedam, Vaidyam and Vidya. After its inception in June 2024 with a mere 45 students and just two classes (6th and 7th) today it has grown to three times its strength with classes from 4th to 9th under the State Board curriculum. I am happy to share that the school got its CBSE affiliation in Nov 2025 and a permission to start the Senior Secondary wing that is class XI across all streams from the academic year 2026-27.
