Dhamma Dipa School is a Residential School (C.B.S.E., Eng. Medium) inaugurated by Mr. Ryuzo Kikuchi, Consul General of Japan (Calcutta) on 25th May 2002. It started with 50 students (30 boys & 20 girls) in its first academic year (2002-03). Admission is open for all but they give first priority to S.T. children. 85 students have been taken in the second academic year (2003-04) out of which 4 (four) belong to O.B.C. and 1 (one) general category.
The School is run by BAHUJANA HITAYA
EDUCATION TRUST (BHET) at Manu Bankul, Sabroom,
Objectives:
Bahujana Hitaya Education Trust has the following
objectives:
a) To cater value-based quality education to the underprivileged children
of poor tribal and other backward communities
b) To train students in character building and spiritual development
(meditation).
c) To support poor tribal students for higher education.
d) To train tribal women in vocational courses (weaving, tailoring,
handicraft etc.)
It is good to see that parents do
not require education awareness. They are very much eager to admit their
children into a good school and Dhamma Dipa is the best to them. The parents entrust their
children to Dr. Ven. Dhammapiya,
the sole impetus of all the activities. Dr. Ven. Dhammapiya very good hold and influence on the community as
well as with the local politicians, BDO, Health Organisations,
Other Govt. Officials, Police, DM. Also he has a very good relation with other
organization like Ramkrishna Mission, Tripura.
Mogs (Mags or Maghs) are
the followers of Theravada Buddhism. Mogs are also
known as Marma in
With the progress of time they
established independent kingdom in Arakan and came to be known
as Arakanese or Rakhainsa.
In 1599 A.D. Arakan was attacked by Burmese Kings and the Arakanese (Mogs or Marmas) fled to Chittagong Hill
Tracts and settled down there. From Chittagong Hill
Tracts, they slowly entered
In the locality I found a govt.
school. It looks like ruins. To the community, the Dhamma
Dipa residential school is a safe custody for their
children to have better care and education and it is a requirement for all
students to be in the residential school. None of the students are allowed to
stay at home. The children still connected to their families and are they able
to be part of their community. Parents are allowed to meet their children on
Sundays and also children have scheduled holidays. Dr. Ven.
Dhammapiya and all the other stuffs of Dhamma Dipa residential school
are very much committed. In the school they provide total guidance to the
children following a daily activity schedule.

Development of human resources is the most important and
relevant issue for the development of any area. BHET has taken a very good
and impressive initiative and set an example for others. If such private
initiatives come up in the other areas, I’ve no doubt that face of this
entire region would change. |
