Vidya Bharati currently operates 576 schools across Assam, with a focus on value-based education delivered in the mother tongue, alongside the preservation of the state's cultural heritage.
Over the past two decades, eight students from Vidya Bharati institutions have secured the top position in the HSLC examination — a record that reflects consistency rather than a one-off achievement.
Sailendra Pandey, Saha Prasar Pramukh of Vidya Bharati, Uttar Asom Pranta, attributed the results to the network's distinctive educational philosophy.
He highlighted the Panchapadi teaching method and the effective implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) as central to the institutions' focus on holistic student development — academic, personal, and cultural.
Senior functionaries including Dr Pawan Tiwari, Kulendra Kumar Bhagawati, and Jagannath Rajbanshi congratulated all successful candidates and extended their best wishes for the students' futures.
