Aranyaani Forest Campus is a nature-based learning community situated on a 10-acre living scrub forest in Sridhara Sri Gudda, Kengeri, South Bengaluru. Inspired by the educational teachings of J. Krishnamurti, we nurture the child's natural curiosity and intelligence without comparison, fear, or artificial competition.
