Rishi Valley School is dedicated to drawing the phlosopher J. Krishnamurti's challenging vision of education into the daily transactions and practices of a school situated in the Indian countryside. Rishi Valley School has 360 boarding students from different states of India and sixty highly qualified faculty members. Regarded as one of the leading residential schools in India, Rishi Valley School provides a distinctive educational environment that enables young persons to grow not only in intellectual capacities, but also in other dimensions of their being.
New students to the school are chosen from an annual pool of applicants on the basis of character, talent, academic ability as well as parental background. The Junior and Middle School, with around 190 students from classes 4 to 8, provides a flexible curriculum, free from the pressure of examinations. This creates an atmosphere conducive to innovative teaching and a rich range of learning.
The Senior School, with 160 students from classes 9 to 12, is affiliated to the ICSE and ISC examination boards. The emphasis at this level shifts towards an in-depth preparation of students to meet the academic requirements of the prescribed syllabi. While developing the students' intellectual faculties, there is a conscious effort towards creating a wider awareness of the world and giving space for the development of the aesthetic, moral and emotional dimensions. It is the hope os the school, that students passing out would grow into self-aware, sensitive and responsible human beings who remain life-long learners.

Varun attended the prestigious Rishi Valley School in Andhra Pradesh, India. Varun did his law and economics at the London School of Economics, he then completed his Masters from the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. All this information is verifiable too. You can visit the alumni pages of these institutions.

On the other hand Rahul Gandhi's admission to St Stephen's College was controversial as he was admitted on the basis of his abilities as a competitive pistol shooter, which was disputed. He left the school in 1990, after one year of education.
It is reported that Harvard alumni records list him as attending between 1990 and 1993 but not as completing a degree. He transferred, reportedly due to security concerns following his father's assassination, to Rollins College in Florida where he completed a B.A. in 1994. During the parliamentary elections in 2004, Gandhi claimed that he had received an MPhil in Development Economics after attending Trinity College, Cambridge. He claims he attended under the alias "Raul Vinci". He worked in London with the strategy consultancy firm Monitor Group, before returning to India in late 2002.

He's not listed either on the Alumni of Rollins nor on Trinity college. All he did was slap libel cases against those that reported it but never produced proof of attending and completing his education there and everyone is aware how the Congress government controls everything in India.
Here, the alumni of SOAS lists Varun on their Alumni:

The Congress presents this liar Rahul, who could not even retain his ficticious job at the Moniter Group as the future PM of India!!
We should be proud of VARUN Gandhi.
India's Rishi Valley – Renewal & New Ideas | Ecoworld
The Rishi Valley is in southern India, and is a profound example of how an ecosystem that is ravaged by human exploitation can be restored when land use habits are modified. Restoration efforts in Rishi were begun through the volunteer efforts of a Mr. Sri Naidu, a native of the valley. After losing one of his sons in a swimming accident, Mr. Naidu began to teach farming methods in the Rishi Valley, which had become completely deforested.
The Rishi Educational System
The Rishi school system modified its curriculum to bring ecologically centered courses to the students. The student work emphasizes group and individual projects. The central themes of everything the students learn are local and accountable and highly tangible. All of the projects are geared towards one thing, the ecological health of the Rishi Valley. Efforts towards this goal are economically beneficial, making the schools almost completely self supporting.
Instead of learning the nuances of the caste system, students in the Rishi Valley learn about real things described by the teacher using a box of 500 illustrated project cards. When a student has completed them all, the student has completed elementary school. Students at all the grade levels work on the same set of projects, usually oriented towards the school´ flower, fruit or vegetable gardens.
