The Directorate of Ashram Schools (TA & Hills), Manipur was established during 1979-86 for running 5 (five) schools in Manipur. Those 5 Ashram Schools are:

- Maram Ashram School, Senapati District (Class I – X). Estd. 1984 and

Initially the basic objective of establishment of Ashram Schools was to give residential type of education with facilities for vocational training to the children belonging to ST communities by providing Text Books, Study materials, Mid-Day meal, free of cost. However, the true spirit of the objective is defeated since facilities could not be provided for the last few years.
The sanction strength of Ashram Schools is 120 as per CMIS, Manipur database
