GVK CHINMAYA VIDYALAYA

Hari Om

Education of the first generation of English medium school goers is a great and complex challenge. It requires substantially higher commitment, patience and work for the management, teachers and parents. It is the responsibility of all stake holders more so of the teachers to make this transition happen at school. The support for such transition in society is very different and lesser in rural than that of urban. The overall socio-economic opportunities are very different in rural and urban sector which makes a significant educational implication. Hence the role of a teacher becomes more complex and all-inclusive in rural areas. In some occasions even the teachers are drawn from similar background as the students which present a challenge to the management. The present day teacher training is inadequate to meet the challenges of first generation of English medium school goers.

At GVK Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Teachers are continuously trained and retrained on the job to understand and apply to meet the needs of the curriculum and aspiring parents, who are conscious of upward mobility of their wards. This is a legitimate expectation of the parents. Very often parents are tempted towards high fee English medium schools.

One of the major handicaps for learning and expression today is medium of instruction. Children are required to spend more time in learning English in rural areas. Yet another shortcoming is the environment at most homes is not so congenial for quiet study. Distraction due to television, cinemas and smart phones add to the problem. Although technological advancement and information explosion has been flooding the society when it diverts the attention of the children, teachers have to put in greater effort to make them focus on their goal. The purpose of education can be served only when the focus is not lost. Schools impart skills along with knowledge to promote creativity. It is for this reason present day children are given activity based learning experience so that they can think and apply theoretical knowledge in creativity. Education is not complete with just subject knowledge. It should also lead to personality development. It is for this reason subjects such as fine arts, yoga, physical education, computer and literary skills, music, dance and value based education are introduced. .

GVK Chinmaya Vidyalaya emphasises on integrating physical and emotional development with intellectual development. Universal outlook, patriotism and Indian culture are nurtured through formal teaching as well as Balvihar classes. I am confident that all the children taking admission in GVK Chinmaya Vidyalaya are on the right path and will achieve their goal. I seek the grace and blessings of Guru Parampara of Chinmaya Mission for the success of the staff and students of the Vidyalaya.

I personally believe that the role of a school is not just to pursue academic excellence but also to inspire and empower the students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and responsible members of an ever-changing global society.

At GVK Chinmaya Vidyalaya, we cater student centric atmosphere to our students for holistic development, where children are encouraged to realise their potential in the pursuit of excellence. At the Vidyalaya, we try to discover the talents, skills, and abilities of each student and nurture and encouraged them to reach greater heights. We provide the students a platform to think, express, and exhibit their skills.

The school is striving hard to make the best possible efforts to inculcate strong values combining with academics and extra-curricular activities in the children. Converting every individual into a self-reliant, independent and responsible citizen, the school provides an amalgam of scholastic and co-scholastic activities.

I am sure that GVK Chinmaya Vidyalaya will reach to the fulfilment of the expectation of the students and their parents.
