- TREP (Total Residential Education Program) is a non-profit, free residential educational programme established to provide ‘balanced education’ in an ideal environment for the growth and development of the underprivileged students of society.
- The uniqueness of TREP, a balanced education programme, is that it not only gives free academic education but practical training in the areas of Values, Devotion and Life-Skills.
- TREP students learn and practice self-reliance. They do their own work at TREP – cleaning their rooms, toilets and premises, washing and ironing their own clothes, flower and vegetable gardening, tailoring and cooking.
- Participating in weekly special competitions and programmes in singing, dancing, art, crafts, dramas, debates, general knowledge quizzes, spelling bees, interpreting quotations etc., all help to develop their level of self-confidence.
- TREP also arranges regularly outings and tours to help expose and educate our youth in the value of nature, devotion and community service.
- TREP is run by two charitable organisations both inspired and motivated by the philosophy and teachings of Sri Sadguru Sai Shankar (1935-1986).
- People’s Trust, (org) established in 1982, is a charitable village development service organization which provides the infrastructure and academic educational facilities while the Sai Shankar Loving Lights Trust (1999), is responsible for the day-to-day supervision, fundraising as well as the value, devotion and life-skill training programmes .
