The village has only one school where pupils are taught up to class VII. As many as 15,000 people live at Somsar and villages around and the lone school to cater to their needs is even less than insignificant. The long distance a child has to commute to attend the school causes widespread drop-outs. The standard of instructions leaves scope for improvement.

In this background, TWO non-formal schools on charitable basis are run by the Seva Mandira - one in the premises of the Ashrama and the other at a distant locality of 'Paschim Para' in the village.

Though non-formal, the schools cater to students of different sections providing education under the following categories:

  • Pre-basic education: for children one to five years old.
  • Non-formal education: for elderly boys and girls who do not go to school or are mostly drop-outs.
  • Coaching classes: for the regular school goers who read in different classes.

Although named as Non-formal schools, drop-out students are attending these schools apart from regular students. Besides education, students are introduced to various types of games, singing, dancing, Bratachari, etc., for overall development by six educated lady teachers. While students of Somsar village attend these schools for taking tutions, students belonging to other schools come to Ashrama Schools come for tutions too. Every student gets tiffin apart from regular health check-up and free medical service with medicines. Text books and stationary, woolen garments and school uniforms are provided to all students free of cost.

 Images of Educational Activities at Somsar On 5th February 2006, the Annual Sports Competition was successfully organized with all students, guardians and teachers were present to mark the occasion. Prizes were awarded to all successful students.

The old thatched cottage which housed the old Ashrama School has given way to the new School Shade for the purpose, where the simple hearted children assemble, learn, enjoy, and happily spend their times. The School at Paschim Para has also been expanded with active help from the local villagers whose children are the beneficiaries. The programme has indeed created a sensation in the village.
