Our story

From an idea among veterans to a school at Morandhana

Ojas Shikshan Evam Prashikshan Samiti was registered on 18 January 2017 as a non-profit society of ex-servicemen, under the M.P. Society Registrikaran Adhiniyam, 1973. Its founding members are Shri Anil Verma and Shri S K Baghel.

The idea took shape when ex-serviceman Anil Verma, who leads the ex-servicemen of the area and contributes to the Akhil Bhartiya Poorv Sainik Seva Parishad, consulted senior retired officers of the Army and Air Force, district officials and academics. Together with other ex-servicemen of Betul district, they formed the Sansthan.

Wing Commander M B Pardesi (Retd) allowed the Samiti to use his land free of cost. Today the school at Morandhana, Amla teaches Classes 6 to 12 in Hindi and English medium, alongside physical training, value education and guidance for careers in the Armed Forces and beyond.
