Digraj school provides formal education from 8th to 10th grade. It is located in the remote backward drought affected region of Maharashtra. The school was started by the locals with their own resources to provide education to students in the surrounding area. The primary motivation behind starting the school was to reduce the drop-out rate after the 7th grade due to the long commute (25 to 30 km) to district-level high-school.
