Dear Students, Parents, and Well-Wishers,

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS), Dhanghera, a temple of learning nestled in the scenic tribal heartland of Mayurbhanj. Since its inception, this institution has stood as a beacon of opportunity, illuminating the lives of tribal children through inclusive, holistic, and value-based education.

At EMRS Dhanghera, we believe education is not just about academic success but about building character curiosity and confidence. Our faculty, supportive community and dynamic learning environment ensure that each student discovers their unique potential and grow into a responsible global citizen.

We are proud of our commitment to holistic development blending rigorous academics with values, creativity and life skill. Our mission is to empower young minds to rise above limitations, discover their potential, and contribute meaningfully to society. We are committed to creating an environment where curiosity is encouraged, discipline is embraced, and values are instilled.

Our dedicated faculty, well-equipped facilities, and vibrant academic culture ensure that each child receives the guidance and support needed to excel—not just in academics, but in life. We take pride in our students who carry forward their tribal identity with dignity while embracing the tools of modern education to build a better future.

As we continue our journey, we seek the support and blessings of parents, guardians, and the community. Together, let us nurture this new generation of leaders, thinkers, and change-makers.

Warm regards,

Antaryami Mishra
M.A., M.Ed.
