Giving back through education
A school in Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh, built in memory of Shri Subhash Sharma and in the spirit of Arya Samaj service to society.
A school built in memory
Subhash Sharma Smriti Dayanand Arya Vidya Niketan is a school building at Thandla, in Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh. It is named in memory of the late Shri Subhash Sharma and carries the name of Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati, the founder of Arya Samaj, who placed education at the heart of his work.
The foundation stone was laid in September 2021 by Mrs. Sushma Sharma, the founder of Hari Varsha, in the presence of her sons and community leaders.

Access
Quality schooling within reach of families in Thandla and nearby villages.
Values
Education guided by the Vedic values of truth, service and discipline taught by Maharshi Dayanand.
