PROJECT ASHA KIRAN

All children are unique and are influenced by cultural, linguistic, intellectual, psychological, medical, social and economic factors. These create a need for an educational environment that enhances every child’s strength and works towards areas of individual special needs without affecting the child’s self-confidence. In addition to these factors, children of armed forces parents are much more affected by the frequent change of schools and corresponding changes in the environment.

Project Asha Kiran is a unique project conventionalized by Army Wives Welfare Association which brings a ray of hope. The purpose of PROJECT ASHA KIRAN is to provide inclusive education to all children which include Children with Special Needs.

Under this project, three resource teachers and one special educator has been trained in the workshop on “Holistic and Inclusive Education” conducted by AWWA. For this purpose, a resource room has been created under the able guidance of the Hon’ble Chairman of the school to fulfill the needs of the children and school takes pride in undertaking this noble project.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Now I will throw light on Infrastructure of the school.

I feel ecstatic to share with you all that with the support of Hon’ble Chairman Brig Navin Varma in a short span of time around 10 months, we have spent around One Crore on the procurement of various required infrastructure and equipments. A number of projects have been undertaken and completed in this academic session. To name a few:-

a)    Assembly Shed has been extended to accommodate the children well and in rainy season also, we can conduct the assembly without any hassle now.

b)   With the changing times, the technology is playing a vital role in the educational sector. To keep the students updated with the new content, 7 Smart Boards have been installed in the classrooms and now every class is equipped with Educomp.

c)    School has procured 20 more monitors to make the children techno-savy. A projector, Photocopier machine is also an addition.

d)   Library has been upgraded with 5 kindles, number of reference and resource books along with the book shelves.

e)    As safety and security of the children is the prime concern of the school so to fulfill this purpose, 10 CCTV cameras have been installed in addition to the already existing cameras in the school. Further, to curb the problem of monkey menace, electric fencing has been done around the school campus.

f)      Maths, Science and SST labs have been upgraded with the lab equipments.

g)   For the Holistic Development of the students, more number of Sports and music equipments have been procured this year.

h)   Auditorium has been equipped with chairs, Projector and a screen.

i)      To monitor the smooth functioning of the school through CCTV cameras, an LED has been procured and installed in the Principal’s office.

Without the support and initiative of worthy Chairman, these projects would never have been possible and the wish of our students to study in a school which provides them with all support systems has been fulfilled.

Every journey towards the path of progress needs to be continued to reach the heights.

School has taken a number of projects this year.

I am happy to share with you all that within a few months, we are coming up with additional 12 classrooms and 4 washrooms.

Further, To cope up with the voltage issues in the school, a 100 KVA   three phase Servo Stabilizer will be installed in the school very soon.

Out of all, the major project is the upgradation of the school upto Higher Secondary School. May this future endeavor of ours be fulfilled soon!

TEACHER’S EMPOWERMENT

Teachers are also learners.” Staying updated is the key to success in any field, especially, in education. Our teachers constantly strive to stay updated by attending workshops & various training Programs every year at FDRC, New Delhi, an initiative of AWES. The school organizes In-service workshops in the school for teachers and the eminent guest faculties are invited for the teachers’ enrichment programme.

To foster and enhance Higher Order Thinking Skills among the students, the school continuously conducts Olympiads organized by Science Olympiad Foundation under which we conduct International English and Maths Olympiad National Science and Cyber Olympiad, for the students of Classes I-X.

This year, the school has outshined amongst all other CBSE schools in the district. Miss Amika Rustagi  of Class- V has created a history by securing Ist position in International English Olympiad at Zonal Level and she was felicitated with Academic Excellence Award 2018-2019 along with the cash prize worth Rs 10,000.  Master Ryan Sharma, Miss Vaishnavi Manhas, Miss Nidhi Yadav, Master Anshuman Singh, Master Yash Sinha, Miss Savya have added a new feather to our cap by securing excellence awards at Zonal Level and all of them were felicitated with the gift vouchers worth rupees 26,7000 which has been credited to these students’ account as per their rank in the olympiads. At last, I would like to mention here that Mrs Poonam Gupta, Coordinator for SOF has been awarded the Best Coordinator Award at District Level and myself has been awarded the Best Principal Award at District Level.

SPORTS

Being the only Secondary school in Northern Command, it becomes really challenging for the students to compete with the students from Senior Secondary group but then again I feel proud to share with you all that APS Dhar Road has still managed to make its name in the field of sports also. Dear audience, the boys Hockey team, girls Volleyball team and the boys Basketball team clinched the third position in Northern Command Inter APS’s Sports Tournaments.

In addition to this, school is participating at District and State Level too. The school team got IIND position in Badminton tournament at District Level and 5 students were selected for State Level.

All the children from classes VI-X were taken to Dhruva Complex, Udhampur for watching the movie “Misson Mangal” along with their teachers and coordinators.

The school is having NCC for girls as well as boys. This academic session, 2 girls cadets attended ALL INDIA TREKKING CAMP at Paprola Baijnath.  10 cadets attended summer adventure camp 2019  at FCC  node Bakloh under the aegis of mountain brigade.

I would like to conclude by paying gratitude to all the parents and each one of our well-wishers who have lent a supportive hand down through the years, in all our endeavors to produce a confident, educated and capable batch of students each year. I hope you enjoy the cultural bonanza, presented by our students and your evening is a pleasurable one.

With that, let us foresee a world of universal singularity where our children are going to be the propellant of this change and the world shall be a beautiful place to live in..!!!

"May be there is a road ahead of it,

May be there is a new world down the road,

Walking forth is the only plight,

Because we didn't come this far, to come this far only"

Our dream is to fly and touch the sky. We are not going to rest till we achieve the best.

THANK YOU!

 

JAI HIND!
