Parijat Academy

What Parijat Academy does

Parijat Academy is a non-profit educational organization founded in 2003 by Uttam Teron in Pamohi Village outside Guwahati, Assam. It delivers free or highly subsidized holistic education to children from socio-economically disadvantaged tribal communities across approximately 10 villages in the Guwahati outskirts. The organization operates two schools: a residential Pamohi campus offering nursery through grade 10 with on-site accommodation for children from remote villages, and a Garbhanga day school covering lower primary through grade 4. Academic instruction is delivered through an activity-based learning programme that integrates life skills, livelihood training, sports, arts, civic consciousness, and monthly health checkups, supplemented by a Weaving Center for vocational skills and a Computer Room for digital literacy.

The business model is purely donation-funded: the organization charges no fees to beneficiaries and generates no commercial revenue. Funding comes from individual donors, supporter appeals on its website, and volunteer recruitment. Distribution is entirely direct — services are delivered on-campus — with student intake driven by word-of-mouth and community-leader networks within the tribal catchment. Headcount is approximately 17, including a small named leadership team (Founder Uttam Teron, Principal Dipanjali Bhagawati, Administrative Head Baijayanti Teron Handique, Head Coordinator Prakash Sarma, and Weaving Center Head Aimoni Tumung).

Scale has grown from 4 children in a 100-square-foot room in 2003 to 350+ students currently enrolled, with a stated 2025 target of reaching 500 children. There is no proprietary technology stack, no app, no API, and no institutional investor or parent-company structure; the organization is founder-led and independently operated as a charitable institution. Recognition includes the 2011 CNN IBN Heroes Award, the 2017 Karmayogi Award from the Lions Club, and the 2009 Eastern India Women Association Social Service Award.
