[DRAFT]

Efforts Initiated or the Process of Transformation

After deep analysis I decided to focus on three challenges which could cover other challenges too.

● Lack of confidence and lower standard of discipline: I found the school like a ship without radar.
The students were horribly untidy in their dressing, raw and rough in their behaviour, could not
speak in Hindi and habitual to speak in local dialect of Chhattisgarhi, unable to speak their view on
the stage. It was a huge challenge to bring their psychology on academic track.

● Behaviourial change in teachers and students: on the very second day of my joining the horrible
pictures of challenges were unveiled in the broad day light when I saw the one teacher latching at the
door of the class room taking not any notice of my presence as she was busy at her mobile. I noted
the teachers, though young, very raw in the profession and behaviour. Par have no one was there to
tell them how to distinguish between right and wrong the time of the school was uncontrolled.
Teachers who later on expired, they themselves told me that they were habituated to come and go at
their own will. All these activities had spoiled the image of the school and it was big challenge to re-
establish the prestige of school. To bring back the process of thinking of the staff members to

academic direction was the quick demand of the time.

● Insufficient infrastructure: The very first appearance of the school building and premise was very
disappointing around 550 students were enrolled and only one toilet was there for girls and lady
staff. Whereas boys and male staff used damaged toilet which needs repair. Only six rooms were

there for teaching 550 students.

Planning and strategy: Though the challenges were innumerous and it was unnecessary to spend
time on grooming. I started working on the strategy without delay and the following steps were
taken by me.

1. Meeting with the teachers and SMDC members: I wanted to go deeper, to transform the
personality of teachers; hence on third day I called a marathon meeting of the teachers in my cabin.
