Founder's Message

Ever since I was appointed the director of the Ranthambhore National Park in 1970, I have been in love with the land and its beauty. Ranthambhore is a unique natural endowment. It is our moral obligation as human beings to preserve this natural heritage. I have dedicated my life to this cause. 

Over the years, I have learnt that it is necessary to interact with the local communities to protect the forest. To preserve the forest, we have to know and solve the issues and the problems of the local communities. 

Hence, establishing a school as a center of education and as an interactive platform where information can be shared, became a necessity, I am pleased to see this dream become a reality. 

The aim of the school is to create in every child the capacity to identify with, understand, utilize and conserve the resources of Planet Earth. The process would lead students to learn the importance of preserving Ranthambhore as a resource, which will cater to their elementary needs in the near future.The school will strive to create in its students a perception of the local environment in its global context and to usher in sustainable development. The school will raise children who will conserve this resource in the process of earning their livelihood as adults. The school will help every child to understand that their interests lie in sustaining the roar of the tiger in Ranthambhore. Fateh Singh Rathore. Former Director. Ranthambhore National park.
