Abstract

The school aims to provide a congenial teaching-learning environment; students are now highly
motivated and take part in all school activities. Students have shown in sports competitions at state,
national and international level. Students have proper seating arrangement as modular desks have
been introduced in the school. Parents are also participating in the development of school; sending
their wards to school regularly with great enthusiasm. Through motivational and capacity building
session‘s teachers now come out with better ideas. The teachers are now highly motivated and their
confidence is boosted. They are using latest teaching technology and indulging students in activity
based learning creating a sense of belongingness among them.

Socio-Cultural Context of the School

The School is situated in a densely populated rural area which consists of Multi Cultural students which
hail from various states of North India. The parents of these students are from financially lower class and
many of them cannot afford basic requirements to provide a congenial environment for studies. Some
parents are so poor that they prefer to marry off their daughters at a very early age.

The Students are mainly children of laborers, auto drivers, sales men, factory workers etc. and even the
students skip their classes and help their parents in their work to support their family financially, because
most of the families are unplanned and have many stomachs to feed. Some students are so poor they come
to school just to eat Midday meal.

The school is a double shift school where girls study in the Morning Shift and boys study in the Evening
Shift in the same building. The school had only one stream earlier which is Humanities. Later we
introduced Commerce as a second stream.

Challenges for the School Heads

The school premises were very unhygienic, toilets were broken and were rendered unusable and
unsanitary for the use of girls, the corridors were dirty mopped floor and the same was with most of the
classrooms. This gave a wrong impression about the concept of hygiene to the children.
