A historic event for ISKCON was the acquisition of 60 acres of land near NH-2 for construction of the new eco-friendly campus for Bhaktivedanta Gurukula and International School (BGIS)
The construction work in the new school begun with the auspicious Bhumi Puja ceremony in the presence of HH Gopal Krishna Maharaj and former honourable PWD minister of UP, Shri Shivpal Yadav on 16th May 2015.
A lot of progress has been made since then.
A new exclusive road of 3 KM length named ‘Bhaktivedanta Gurukula Marg’ has been constructed by the state PWD department to connect the new campus to National Highway. It now takes only 20 minutes to reach the new school from ISKCON temple in Vrindavan
The superstructure of the 60,000 sqft academic building has been completed, and the finishing work is going on.
The superstructure of first two floors of hostel building has been completed.
Foundation work for the temple building has been completed.
Concrete boundary wall is being built on the entire 60 acres of land.
Landscaping and plantation of trees are under progress.
We are very grateful to all the individuals and organisations that have funded this project. With their continued support, we are expecting to complete the first phase of this project by December 2017.
