The institute is engaged in providing suitable environment and resources to learn about human life through the writings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother of Puducherry. What started as simple Kindergarten School then, is now a sought after school in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, known for its alternative practices of learning, which follows a curriculum of Integral Education. The vast experience of fifty years helped the school to extend its wings into a Residential set up called the New Creation a Free Progress School located in the natural vistas at Champak Hills, Jangaon, 80 km away from Hyderabad.

Ananda Reddy,not only runs the above mentioned schools but also Sri Aurobindo Centre for Advanced Research (SACAR) at Puducherry apart from a ADITI GURULUL, a free school for the less privileged at Jangaon.
