1.Quality Education up to Xth Standard in a common medium was not readily available in the area. This being a border area is fragmented with four different spoken languages. The existing schools were either elementary schools and/or specific to a particular language. A common medium such as English was required for common instruction and for pursuing higher education
2.In a Secular Fashion: The area was infamous for Christian missionary schools whose methods were extremely pro-Christian. There was a need for a secular school in this area.
3.In a good environment: Unlike the nearest government school that was 5 Km away. This had a student teacher ratio of 1:100 and teachers rarely turned up for classes.
4.At an affordable price: An agrarian community such as this cannot afford more than Rs. 100 per child
