Emphasising 21st-century skills, we provide an inclusive and stimulating environment that supports intellectual growth and holistic development.
Today, the school has carved a niche in the vicinity.
Our experienced faculty, modern infrastructure, innovative teaching methodologies, and technology-enabled classrooms ensure that students receive a future-ready education, rooted in tradition yet aligned with global standards in a safe and supportive environment.
We take pride in our achievements, both in academics and beyond. Our students consistently perform well in board examinations and shine in inter-school competitions, reflecting the hard work and spirit of the school staff.
Parental involvement is also a vital part of our school’s success. We believe in maintaining strong communication with parents and working together to support every child's journey.
At Gnyan Dham, while we embrace innovation, we remain deeply connected to the timeless values that shape strong character and resilient individuals.
Guided by the enduring vision of Madam Shroff , we continue to evolve and inspire learners to pursue excellence, grow with integrity, and believe in the transformative power of education.

Eklavya Model Residential School, Ahwa, is situated in the Dang District. It is funded by the Gujarat State Tribal Education Society under the Tribal Ministry of India. In 2011, Gyandham Vapi Charitable Trust – Vapi took over the school under a Public-Private Partnership.
There are about 420 tribal children (Girls & Boys) studying in the school from Class 6 to 12, Science and Commerce stream, and residing in the Hostels. This school is only meant for Scheduled Tribe children from poor family backgrounds. In EMRS Ahwa, mostly children hail from the Dang District, and a few are from Vyara and Punchmahal District.
With the monetary support of the Central & and the State Government, and with the immense guidance and cooperation of the Gnyandham trustees and Chairman, there has been substantial progress witnessed academically and non-academically. Over the last five years, the School has achieved 100 % results in the SSC Board examination, and above 95 % in the HSC Science and Commerce streams. Students have showcased their talents in the Khel Mahakumbh and won in Kudo at the State level.
Regular career workshops and seminars have helped tribal students hone their careers in Medical, Engineering, Teaching, Nursing, Veterinary, Army, etc. This institute has also stressed skill development programmes with the opening of new horizons for the tribal students in Tailoring, Beauty Wellness, and Electrical Technology etc.
The school places more weight on the holistic development of tribal students and the teaching staff. That is why teachers are given various in-house training to sharpen and upgrade their teaching skills. A well-planned, nutrient-rich menu has helped children achieve optimal physical fitness.
Apart from academic facilities, the school has tried its level best to furnish modern civil facilities like residential quarters for teaching staff, smart classes for students, a bio-gas system, a public address system and a well-equipped school.
From 2013 onwards, the school has been receiving many awards from the government and local authorities for securing good board results as well as for cleanliness drives. The coming years may become more vibrant and fruitful with the endeavours of teachers, students, and the headmistress of EMRS- Ahwa.
