Narbada Devi Memorial School is the cherished dream of a bright and thoughtful 13-year-old girl in the 1950s. Born into a traditional Marwari business family, young Neeruji Morarka nurtured a quiet yet powerful desire — to create a space of joyful, meaningful learning. A dream not for grandeur, but for impact. A dream to educate, inspire, and uplift.

With unshakable resolve and the loving support of her late husband, Shri R.P. Morarka, she turned that dream into reality in 1982. What began as a humble initiative blossomed into a magnificent institution — a haven for generations of learners. Her guiding philosophy was:

“Satyam Shivam Sundaram”

— truth, goodness, and beauty — and this ideal continues to illuminate the path of the school to this day.

Today, Narbada Devi Memorial School (NDMS), Hospet stands tall as one of the most respected and beloved educational institutions in the region. The heart and soul of this journey is Mrs. Neeruji Morarka — the gentle force of inspiration, who serves as the Patron and Chairperson of the school. Her heartfelt vision of nurturing young minds took form when she founded a small playgroup school named Tiny Tots with just 25 children in Playclass and Nursery.

Year after year, the school grew — not only in numbers but in warmth, values, and reputation. As a tribute to her beloved mother-in-law, the school was later renamed Narbada Devi Memorial School — a name that today resonates with excellence, grace, and integrity.

Under her nurturing guidance, NDMS reached a landmark moment in 1991 when its very first batch of Class 10 students graduated with outstanding results. Since then, every passing year has brought more glory. The school has consistently achieved cent percent SSLC results, with its alumni shining across the world .— Today numerous alumni from NDMS hold prestigious positions across the globe, a testament to the strong educational foundation laid at the school.

What sets NDMS apart is not just academic brilliance, but the essence of humanity that fills its corridors. It is a place where values are lived, where love is taught by example, and where every child is seen, heard, and cherished.

Mrs. Neeruji Morarka, though a woman of stature, is deeply loved for her humility, kindness, and ever-youthful spirit. A native of Kolkata, she brought with her the spark of creativity, innovation, and a never-ending enthusiasm for learning. Even today, her quiet strength and loving involvement guide the school’s every step.

Her compassionate heart extended beyond education. Through the Narbada Charitable Trust, she has touched countless lives — offering financial assistance, hope, and dignity to those in need.

A true pioneer, Mrs. Varsha ji Morarka, the beloved daughter-in-law of Mrs. Neeruji Morarka, brought her own compassionate vision into the fold of the school. It was she who introduced meditation and healing sessions for both students and parents — a first of its kind in Hospet. Her deep belief in emotional well-being and inner balance added a powerful new dimension to the school’s philosophy. These sessions have brought visible transformation — instilling calmness, clarity, and confidence in the hearts of many, while nurturing a culture of mindfulness and emotional intelligence across the NDMS community.

At NDMS, education is not confined to books. The school embraces every child — nurturing their mind, body, and soul. Character is shaped with care, creativity is celebrated, and confidence is gently built.

With a glorious past, a vibrant present, and a purposeful future, Narbada Devi Memorial School continues to shine as a beacon of love, learning, and legacy in Hospet. Fueled by the noble ideals of Mrs. Neeruji Morarka, it remains a sanctuary for dreamers, doers, and kind-hearted leaders of tomorrow.

NDMS is not just a school — it is a temple of wisdom, a garden of values, and a family where every heart finds a home.

The Narbada Devi Memorial School (NDMS) Family strictly believes in preparing young minds for the real world! For this, we strive to give our students as much exposure as possible. Our Aim is to nurture them spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally to transform them into mature and intelligent human beings.

At NDMS, we believe that education is not just about acquiring knowledge, but about becoming a balanced and conscious human being.
Our core beliefs include:

• Individual Growth: Every child learns and grows differently. We honor that uniqueness through personalized attention and open-ended learning.

• Mindfulness Matters: Inner awareness is as important as academic success. Meditation, healing, and reflection are part of our daily rhythm.

• Learning by Living: Real-life experiences, nature, and human connection are central to our approach—learning happens everywhere, not just in classrooms.

• Value-Centered Education: Respect, humility, and kindness are not taught—they are lived, every day.

• Community Spirit: Teachers, students, and families together create the NDMS family. We thrive through mutual trust and collective responsibility.

At NDMS, we ensure that every child is seen, heard, and supported.

Our approach to pupil care goes beyond supervision—it’s about creating a safe, nurturing space where students can be themselves.
From mental well-being and emotional guidance to physical health and personal mentoring, we ensure each child feels grounded and guided. Whether it’s a quiet conversation, a shared meditation session, or just time in nature, we meet children where they are, with care that is thoughtful, patient, and deeply human.
