The Takshila Institute is a school located in Bhiwani in the Adampur Dadhi province in India. It's operated by the non-profit Takshila Education Trust, and the staff consist of unpaid volunteers.

School Structure
This is a place of hope for those thousands of children whose future would not be defined by their background, caste, religion or economic status, but with their hard work they will write their own future. There futures will be unlimited and Takshila education will provide the platform for these children to fulfill their dreams.

The school has three shifts, which enables it to have a higher capacity than regular schools. The school is designed to accommodate around 1000 students per shift, and is one of very few schools in the area. The first shift will accommodate regular students, the second shift will serve students who previously had to drop out of their studies, and the third shift will serve students who are working outside of school. The second and third shift will run for two hours each providing bridge courses for the students. The older students are expected to undergo on-the-job training in the rural economic zone which will be created as part of the school campus.

Funds are provided through donations, and the trust owning the school is administrered which consist members from all walks of socity.

Enrollment
The school targets the bottom most two percent of the population in terms of economic status. The students from such families will be identified during the research that will be conducted in the district. Research will be conducted in two phases; the primary research will include door to door surveying by the Takshila Institute project team; before the commencement of the project. The Takshila Institute will admit those who are from economically weaker sections of the community; at the beginning of the academic year, the students will be identified and offered admission.

Fee Structure
We will provide as much aid as possible while also providing excellent educational quality. We will provide free education to Abidpura residents who donated land for the school. We are expecting that 60% of the total enrolled students shall be given free admission. of students shall receive government support, and 20% shall pay fees. We are expecting that the 60% of students attending free of tuition shall have their costs covered by the community over a period of time. We will build up an alumni base for that collection.
