History

"तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय" TAMASO MA JYOTIR GAMAYA – Lead us from darkness to light

Founding and Development

Echoing the above motto, Shri Shikshayatan School was founded on January 3, 1954 to empower education amongst young women by enlightening and engaging their bright minds to foster a progressive nation.

In the social scenario of 1920, there was a need to popularize the concept of educating young girls by empowering them with knowledge and quality education. With this vision in mind, a small but progressive school, Marwari Balika Vidyalaya was established at Burrabazar under the stewardship of Shri Ghanshyamdas Birla and Shri Jugal Kishore Birla along with a body of enlightened members of the Rajasthani community settled in Kolkata.

Later the society was named “Shikshayatan Foundation” and today under the guidance of this body, four educational institutions find their presence:
