THE BEGINNING

It all started in August 2013, during a visit to Ladakh - Once, the hub of ancient silk route. The region can be described as a land of passes crisscrossing the Himalayan mountain range, a place where Buddhist spirituals and its ancient culture intertwine with pristine nature and humanity.

Made famous by the film "3 idiots", this region is one of the most remote part of India, amongst the poorest yet embodies simplicity of living and a high degree of spiritual capital. Goldenmile was born with a dream to bring modern education to the young lamas aged 4-16 at Thiksey monastery - providing holistic education by combining primary/secondary education with spiritual learning. Blessed by HH Dalai Lama, the capability enables the students to be better citizens and serve humanity better.

The first proof of concept was implemented on Gandhi Jayanti on Oct 2, 2013 and today digitally delivered SMART CLASSES are a key enabler to education in high altitude remote schools in Ladakh - monastic schools, village schools and government schools.
