The Dhamma Dipa School (DDS) is an English-medium boarding school in Sabroom, the southern most district of Tripura. The school was founded by Dr. Dhammapiya, a Buddhist monk who earned his PhD from University of Bombay and returned to Tripura. There are currently 250 students in kindergarten through sixth standard. Dr. Dhammapiya plans to expand DDS by one standard each year, and eventually become a degree college.
The primary interest of the Asha Stamford Chapter in picking this school was to service geography of India that we felt was largely underserved. The big cities and the schools in villages of the states supporting the big cities are typically able to attract resources as there are several non-residents who originate from these areas. However, we felt that the eastern part of the country, especially the tribal areas needed support, more so education support. The Asha Stamford Chapter has been supporting the school for nearly 3 years.
