Efforts Initiated or the Process of Transformation

As the maximum guardians were illiterate who didn‘t want to send their children to school. So, we
tried our best to pursue those guardians to send their children to school. We struggled a lot but we
failed to bring all the children to school. So, we created a motto ‗bring back to school‘ through
attraction. With this view we started decorating the school on the model of ‗BALA‘ through gardening
and other decorative things at the school compound. (One of my friends gave me a CD on „BALA‟ in
2005 to see and I was heavily inspired by that CD to change the environment of my school) From that
point our journey of change/transformation began. The journey started with one tree only (Jamun
Tree). Thereafter, we started to plant different types of trees and flowers in the school campus. There
was an aim of planting all types of trees at the school compound. After completing the process of
gardening and plantation we planned (SDP) to form a museum in the school campus which is rare in
modern day schools. It was a process to change the whole environment of the school and create a new
and different environment to attract the students and visitors toward the school.

To make this implementation successful we made student Parliament with different students group like
Mahatma Gandhi Group, (MGG), Maulana Abul Kalam Azad (MAKA), Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru
(PJN), Dr. Bhupen Hazarika (BH), Kanaklata etc. Each group consists of 5 to 7 students with different
aims. These students parliament worked for the betterment of the school at the instruction of the Head
of the School. The teacher and SMC along with different people from the community contributed their
labour when needed. Many people along with the students contributed the things which are about to
disappear from the society to the museum. Today we have so many ancient things in our museum
which has already disappeared from the society. Things like Gramophone, tape recorder, black and
white TV, reel camera, model of old hornbill etc.
