The affairs of the Society are regulated by the Memorandum of Association and bye-laws. The Society has established a Junior High School, namely, Purva Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Karvi, Chitrakoot (for short, the “Institution”), which is recognised under the provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Act, 1972.
