MORAN BLIND SCHOOL
TAMASO MAA JYOTIRGAMAYA
(From Darkness Lead Me To Light)
- Brahadaranyaka Upanishad
HISTORY
In 1972, while working as a Manager of a Tea Estate, Major S.N. Banerjee (Bruno) founded the Janamangal Adarsha Andha Bidyalaya, in Moranhat, Assam. The school has since grown come to be known as the Moran Blind School. After thirty good years of service to the Tea Industry Major Banerjee finally retired in 1982. Since then his son, Mr. Victor Banerjee, has inherited the helm of affairs. It is under his guidance, that donors who respected and honored the goodwill built by his father, continue to lend their endless support.
Today, from a single mud hut in the 70's, Moran Blind School has grown into a lovely campus. It has classrooms for the children, an auditorium that can seat over 100 guests, a common room for visitors and children, separate dormitories for boys and girls, in addition to having a dining room with a perfectly hygienic modern kitchen donated by the All Assam President of ABITA, Mr. Jagdish Bezbaruah, in February 2008. As we progress we hope to be able to provide the needed education for as many children as possible for now and into the future.
