Featured Story

Six Girls from Wardha Won International Scholarships

On 4th March 2026, six students from Oxford Public School, Waigaon — daughters of farmers, first-generation learners — competed at the World Peace Ethics Contest in Thailand.

They came home with ranks, scholarships, and something harder to measure: the knowledge that where you are born does not decide how far you can go.

"This success inspires me to work harder and make my school proud." — Pratyasha Sahoo

On the same evening, Dr. Chetana Sawai received an international award for Excellence in Rural Girl Child Education from the Dhammakaya Foundation, Thailand.

"I came from a tribal community in Amravati — no means of livelihood, no one in the family with a stable income. Dr. Ambedkar College of Social Work, Wardha gave me a path. Today I serve as a Forest Guard in the Maharashtra Forest Department, posted at Sipna Wildlife Division, Melghat. Education changed everything."
