RSV founders Sona Murmu and Boro Baski with school children

The non-formal Santal school Rolf Schoembs Vidyashram (RSV) was established in 1996. It has educated children of several Santal villages in Birbhum District by using a pioneering and model method of education. The Sanghas of the two Santal villages Ghosladanga and Bishnubati have combined their ideas and idealism to make such a school possible.

“The goal is to prepare some model students in our villages, so that others will be inspired to follow them.” – Boro Baski, “Long-term success of non-formal Adivasi school in West Bengal”
