   • Gurukulam: This is where our children learn and enhance themselves in an all-round and holistic manner.
      
   • Community project zone: We work together and do environment-friendly enterprises like horticulture, food-processing, renewable energy generation etc. in this zone.
      
   • Ashram and Seva area: We meditate together and do all the basic and advanced SSY programmes in this area. Annexed is the area for rural development facilities, such as the village library, a free clinic and free food for all.
      
   • Pvt. industries: All entrepreneurs who wish to set up an industry within or in the vicinity of the township premises shall be offered this separate zone on one end of the township. This area also acts as a hands-on training ground for all our children as a part of their hands-on learning curriculum of their academics.
