About Sesomu
INTRODUCTION
As you drive along the sand dunes, the quintessential beauty of Rajasthan countryside mesmerises you. The drive almost takes you through a mirage. The undulating picturesque dunes seem akin to the waves in the sea. SESOMU School is nested amidst such natural environs in Sri Dungargarh, expounding the beauty of the Royal Rajasthan.
THE CONCEPTION
Having graduated in science and engineering, migrating to USA in 1980 and establishing successful business there, Chairman of the school, Mr. Jagdish P. Mundhra, was directed by a strong desire to do something for the motherland. Since he attributes his success to the blend of best education and traditional values, no other form of giving could have topped the importance of providing the same to the children of the place of his origin. And this school is a manifestation of those sentiments. The idea came to fruition with buying 20 acres of land in 1997, starting construction against all odds and completing 16 rooms by June 1999.
THE NAME
The name SESOMU is derived from the names of Parents of the founding Chairman. i.e. SErmal SOnadevi MUndhra. The school is being run under the auspices of SESOMU Education Society, a unit of Sermal Sonadevi Charitable Trust, recognized by the Income Tax Department Under Section 80-G of I.T. Act.

AIMS & OBJECTIVE
The school is dedicated to the cause of value based education aiming at an all-round and harmonious development of a child so as to enable him to manifest the perfection inherent in him to the optimum level. We, at SESOMU, firmly believe that every child is born with some creativity or the other. As such, every child is encouraged to discover and develop his own creativity through a set of well-planned academic and co-curricular activities. Traditional and age old practices like meditation, yoga and pranayam form a part of regular morning assembly, which help the child develop the mental and physical capabilities to the utmost level. Great emphasis is placed on building a strong moral character, excellence in academics and a disciplined approach to solve problems of life. It forms the core of SESOMU’s philosophy to help achieve the broader objective of transforming a child to become right thinker, focused and a disciplined citizen of tomorrow with a deep abiding faith in the rich Indian cultural values and heritage.
