Deoprayag is located on an altitude of 475 m.
This is where the Ganga River is born - at the
confluence of the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi
rivers. This place is called 'Ganga Sangam' and
is considered as a very holy place.
Omkarananda Saraswati Public School is situated
right at this sacred place. The view here is
spectacular with the rivers running right in
front of the school courtyard - the Alaknanda,
Bhagirathi and Ganga, and green mountains
soaring high above the rivers. The famous
Deoprayag Ghat and Raghunath Temple, which is
the Temple of Lord Rama, are both a stone's
throw away from the School.
This Junior High School was founded in 2003 as
an English Medium School and offers Classes
Nursery to Classes VIII. Lessons are completely
run in English language, providing an excellent
education in English to all students, from the
Nursery level to Classes VIII. Parents also are
very proud of the good education provided by
this School for their children and would even
like to have an upgrading of the School up to
Class X.
The students come to School by walking from the
nearby villages. There are also about 25
students who stay in Deoprayag for the week and
leave home only during the weekends as the daily
walk from home is just too far.
The School has a folk dance team consisting of
22 boys and girls aged 11 to 12 years. The
dancers dress up in beautiful traditional
costumes and take part in various competitions.
The School also has a cricket team which
participates in various local competitions.
