One of the Society's marked successes is the Ahilya School. Rehwa Society founded the school in 1989 with a supporting grant from the German aid organization, BORDA. The first year started with 60 students and two teachers; each year saw the addition of another class and necessary teachers, until Standard 5 was reached in 1995. The following year, the Madhya Pradesh Government recognized the school. Today the student population is 340, supported by 16 teachers. Our school goes through grade 6, and will add a grade every year through grade 8. Rehwa Society subsidizes schooling, with tuition based upon the ability to pay. The poorest ten percent of our students receive full scholarhsips as do 10% of the brightest students.


The Ahilya School provides our students with superior education. Our new school building was inaugurated in 2002. Built with contributions from Rehwa Society, the Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar Educational Trust and the Dallas Foundation, our school building is the finest in the district. Our teaching staff has received basic training through the Montessori system, at the expense of the Society. All have attended workshops and courses at the Center for Learning Resources, Poona, Eklavya at Barda, Bal Niketan Sangh at Indore, and Prerna at Bombay. Throughout the school's development, we have benefited from Ms. Ferozan Mehta as consultant. Her input has given the children a curriculum, which is rigorous enough to prepare them for successful entrance into government schools at grade 7, while at the same time emphasizing creativity, imagination, sports and the value of handloom weaving.

Special attention is paid to the environment through a school garden; students receive a free nourishing meal every day.Each student's health and physical development is monitored through Rehwa Society's subsidized health program. Student health care is assured through a subsidized participatory health scheme.
