The Krishnamurti schools are established with the aim to bring about a major shift in human consciousness. Schools strive to awaken intelligence and sensitivity in children in a non-competitive culture while imparting academic excellence. Krishnamurti established the Rajghat Education Centre (REC) in 1928, facing the confluence of the rivers Varuna and Ganga on the outskirts of Varanasi, the ancient pilgrimage city. The boarding school operates in accordance with Krishnamurti’s teachings and pedagogical vision. The Rajghat Besant School, Vasanta College for Women, Krishnamurti Study Centre, and rural communities that provide community services make up the Centre.
