MALDA, May 29: The Malda Ram Krishna Mission inaugurated “Sharda Shishu Mandir” a free primary school for tribal children at Chakbandi Colony in English Bazaar last week in the memory of Sarada Devi, wife of Ram Krishna Paramhansa. The mission spent nearly Rs 7 lakh for the construction of the school building. To celebrate the centenary year of Sarada Devi coupled with a drive to improve the living standards of the tribals in the region, it was learnt that Belur Math had sanctioned the construction of two more such schools in the district in memory of Sharda Devi. Malda RKM secretary Swami Divyananda Maharaj said there is a plan for setting up a school at Samdaspukur in English Bazaar, where the tribals have no access to education in any form.Commenting on the need for imparting education in the tribal-dominated regions of the district, Swami Divyananda Maharaj said: “It is difficult to trace a boy or girl who has studied till Class VIII here. So the question of passing the Madhyamik board examination does not arise.” The Malda RKM is waiting for the allotment of land at Samdaspukur to build another primary school for tribal children there.
