ERC founded and continues to operate schools in Jharkhand State, taking a unique holistic approach to education through innovative programs and methodology.

Rather than using the conventional method of rote memorization, ERC focuses on cultivating critical thinking skills and encouraging students to understand and apply concepts. ERC does this through special programs such as Social Awareness, Youth Empowerment, Student Leadership, and Sports. ERC strives to develop students who will become empowered leaders of their communities, thus working towards the vision of a transformed and prosperous rural India.
