Our Pillars of Success
Our stakeholders are the pillars of our success and they have been instrumental from the very beginning in supporting all our endeavours and initiatives and inspiring us to go above and beyond to achieve and build one of India’s largest and best run Veda Patashalas.
Our Stakeholders
Vidhyarthis
Our vidhyarthis are the soul of our Chathurveda Patashala. They are the future Vedic pundits and scholars. It is our endeavour to provide a sound, meaningful and holistic education for these young boys who will become the torch bearers of Veda Rakshanam tomorrow and will be instrumental in preserving, nurturing, protecting and propagating our sacred Vedas for the generations to come.
Adhyapaks and Teachers
Highly learned and qualified Vedic Pundits form the impressive roster of our Patashala’s Veda Adhyapaks. All our adhyapaks take care of the vidhyarthis very well and ensure that they leave no stone unturned in their grooming and education. Over the past 14 years, nearly 100 students have passed out as “Ghanapatis” from our patashala and the credit for this marvellous achievement goes to our adhyapaks.
Our academic teachers and Sanskrit adhyapaks also help in the learning journey of the vidhyarthis.
Parents
The parents of the vidhyarthis are an equal partner and stakeholder in the success of our patashala. They repose their trust in our institution and are a source of inspiration, support and encouragement for us. We strive to maintain a very close relationship with the parents of al vidhyarthis ensuring that both, the institution and the parents are equal partners in the progress of the child’s vedic education at our patashala.
