This unusual school has emerged with a bold vision to create the global citizens of tomorrow. It offers a combination education of CBSE and vedic studies. Children opting for the dual education system are housed in the campus under the Gurukula system. For families in the neighbourhood, standalone admission to CBSE is given. Sri. Kanchi Mahaswami Vidya Mandir is reaching out to poor families throughout South India. These are families where making the two ends meet is a challenge. Therefore providing education to the children is no mean task for them. To such families Sri.

As a variation to ORU PIDi ARISI THITTAM of the Mahaswami, recognizing the current day reality but retaining the essence of the Mahaswami s appeal, we have formulated a scheme for collection of Rice, Oil, Dal, Sugar for our Bhojanashala so that the Vidyarthis can be well fed and this would substantially contribute to their well-being and deriving the full benefits of the dual education scheme. With a view to standardization and not to collect the grains and pulses of various qualities and breeds, our scheme invites a contribution of Rs. 1500/- per month to cover the following : Rice Sugar Oil Pulses of any variety 25 Kgs 2 Kgs 1 Kg 1 Kg We will exclusively use the contribution for feeding the vidyarthis. Any surplus from the contribution would be utilized for vegetables, milk and other provisions.
