Kaanger Valley,
situated
in the Bastar district of Chhattisgarh, is one of the last
pockets of almost virgin forests still left in the peninsular
region. It extends over an area of 200 sq. Km. and has many
subterranean limestone caves.
The Peninsular Sal forests and the south Indian Tropical
Deciduous forests are seen in their finest form, in this
valley,
through
which flows the river kanger, a synonym for 'pure water'.
This
‘Virgin Valley’ is
indigenous to Chhattisgarh where we originate. We chose to
associate our school with the Valley because of the alluring
blend of two elements of nature, the Earth and the Sky; the
Earth where dreams take root; the Sky, that symbolizes
'unlimitedness'. Hence the name “Kaanger
Valley Academy”.
