The organisation started an initiative in the education field by opening a model primary school "Uttranchal Vidya Niketan" in 1984. The school aims to provide quality education to disadvantaged sections of society. The school is self-sustained with student strength of 150 presently. Registered under Uttarakhand Education Board, the school provides formal and creative learning uptill secondary level (Uttarakhand State Board).

UYRDC also intervened in the existing government schools by conducting health camps, awareness camps, teacher training and various other programs. This ensured that the quality of teaching increased in these schools also..

Our Past efforts in community school :

During UYRDCs inception years, children from most villages often faced problems in the rainy season. Making it a challenge for them to reach and attend their schools, often far away. UYRDC hence pursued education learning curriculums to the far hinterlands of the district, hence, provide to children formal education in respective villages, with active community corporation. This ensured continuity of education to children. The settings enabled state government to establish formal schools in these hinterlands. Thus, this small initiative helped in proliferating education across remote regions of Pinder Valley, District Chamoli through proactive community participation.
