It was in 1990 when Lord Sai blessed one of His outgoing MBA students of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning and inspired him to work in setting up of a multi-dimensional rural empowerment programme. The “sewa” work in this project was started on 13th April, 1993. Since then, Swami has been guiding, inspiring and protecting us at every step. Important physical milestones in the history of this project are as follow:
Bhoomi Puja of the land, gifted by the then Gram Panchayat of village Darwa (Yamuna Nagar, Haryana), was performed on 13th April, 1992. Construction of the hospital building was taken up on 27th September, 1992. The sewa work was started in the form of a dispensary on 13th April, 1993. Next year in September 1994, Masala (spices) production centre was commissioned with a view to provide vocation to economically weaker section of the rural women.
Sri Sathya Sai Jagriti Vidya Mandir was inaugurated on Swami’s 71st Birthday (23rd November, 1996) by a longtime Sai Devotee, Mr Justice R.Sridharan, the then Chief Justice of Panjab & Haryana High Courts.

The major boost to the working of the Project in general and Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Mandir in particular, was received on 19th June 2010 when Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vahini was gifted to school by Bhagwan. This has brought in the cutting edge of latest technology in text-book and value oriented education for the holistic development of the students’ personality.
“Sai Kitchen” was commissioned in September 2012 to supply freshly prepared, tasty and nourishing vegetable curry on 4 days and rice with curry on every Tuesday and Saturday to all the students free of cost. Free Meals for old destitude persons in the neighbourhood was also started in 2015.
