[DRAFT]

Challenges and Process of Change -

A) CHALLENGES ---

1. Enrolment dipped low. Rate of drop out exorbitant. Total enrolment from class 1 to 12 in
May 2015 was 105 when I joined as principal there.

2. Inadequate infrastructure of school. Dilapidated school building as the ceiling of the
school building was the shelter for bats and pigeons in abundance. The holistic view of
the building was that it appeared to be HAUNTED BY GHOSTS.
3. Lack of drinking water as a single hand pump which was also used by villagers. No light
facilities.

4. High level of monotony prevailed due to lack of motivation among students and teachers
and stakeholders.

5. The entire premises were used by the villagers for open defecation and for grazing their
cattle.

B) Process of Change / Trasformation:--

“SHARE WELL, CARE WELL AND FARE WELL TO INSURE TRANSFORMATION”

1. Re addressed the grievances of the staff and inspired them to work together for the school
work.

2. Initiated interaction with the community. Shared my concern with them about
deteriorating condition of the school. Convinced them about my devotion to uplift the
status of the school.

3. I along with my school team personally visited each and every household in the
community and shared our vision of the school for the well being of their children.
4. Being the loan woman in the school, I personally met the women of the community and
communicate with them in their own local dialect and convinced about safety and
security of their daughters & their education.

5. Conducted meeting of SDMC/SMC/PTA at regular intervals in the school to share the
plans of our school team about school development and enhancement of academic
ambience.

6. Informally chatted with the students to know their expectations from the teachers and
about school structure and from me, as leader of the school.
7. As we know ―CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME‖. So I won the trust of the stakeholders
for the holistic improvement of the school and as the leader of the school realising my
concern for the education of the students in the rural area I donated Rs.1.25 lakh as the
STARTER.
