Guided by the philosophy of “Empowerment Through Education,” Sheochand Memorial English School in Banni Village, Bihar, stands as the ramkisson family’s flagship philanthropic endeavour. Established in 2013 by Dr. Raj Ramkisson to honour his forefather, the institution has evolved into a transformative community hub serving over 500 students with the region’s first English-medium curriculum. Beyond academic excellence, the complex drives holistic development through modern digital resources, a health centre, and women’s vocational training. Stewarded by multiple generations of our family, this sustained commitment continues to break cycles of poverty and unlock lasting opportunities for the rural community .
