After making its foray into the sphere of higher and technical education, the ERD Foundation has now embarked on providing quality education at the primary and secondary levels so that our boys and girls can confidently qualify for admission in any top-class institution for professional courses. Moreover, with this kind of solid foundation, they would also become more confident to face competitive examinations such as the IAS, IPS, ACS etc. With this goal in mind, ERDF set up its first Central Public School, CPS Patharkandi in Karimganj District in April 2008. The second CBSE affiliated school of ERD Foundation - Central Public School, Badarpur has been set up in Umarpur, near Badarpur Town which was inaugurated by His Excellency Shri. R. S. Mooshahary, Governor of Meghalaya on 21st January 2010.
Vision Statement
To promote an educational institute with state-of-the-art facilities, to provide quality education encompassing the needs of the rural and downtrodden children of different communities, with special attention to the development of minority communities and thereby producing required quality human resources for the development of the society.
