Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future. After unconditional love and attention, there may be nothing more powerful a parent can give a child than education.

Gopal’s Garden School aims to provide a loving environment suited for the best possible learning experience, where children are nourished with devotion and inspired with a will to work to become leaders of society, first class human beings and devotees of the Lord.

LN Hindu Orphanage

The year 1900 saw a severe plague ravage the city of Mumbai and parts of the State of Gujarat, claiming innumerable lives. The wife of then Governor of Mumbai, Lady Northcote, with the help of some affluent businessmen, started the Lady Northcote Hindu Orphanage (LNHO) to provide shelter to the children orphaned during the catastrophe. The original trustees had a provision that the children be provided excellent quality training and education, along with spiritual values. However, over the years the standards and the facilities deteriorated. In the late 1980s, the trustees requested Radhanath Swami to bring the orphanage into modern times and provide a spiritual revival. In 2005, the Lady Northcote Orphanage was shifted to Govardhan Ecovillage to provide a serene atmosphere for the children to live, learn and play in.

Annamrita

Every child should be educated, which means every child must be fed so they can concentrate in class. Annamrita works with the Government of India’s Midday Meals programme to feed over 1.2 million children daily for free. Although free public education is offered to children aged 6–14, poverty prevents the underprivileged from taking advantage of it since they need to work in order to feed themselves. In 2004, the Government of Maharashtra appointed Annamrita to provide nutritional midday meals for primary school children. In this state 300,000 free meals a day are distributed between Mumbai and Pune.
