Another problem is the Climatic condition and environment of the school.

A school is a place where we take a blank page and turn it into an educated, social human being and a
responsible member of our society. A school is where a child spends its most precious time and age of life
which includes cognitive learning. School is a learning place where a child learns best of social skills and
learns to be a human being first and attains knowledge about its surrounding and the world. But also a
place where we are responsible of wellbeing and good development of many future generations of our
society in which we live.

And this will only be possible if we are able to provide and show them a congenial, safe and comfortable
environment. And this fact must be true for all children regardless of age, sex, cast, religion or financial
status. They have every right to have a healthy and safe environment and we as teachers must realize the
importance of our role in these pupil‘ life because we are the society makers.

The School of Sonia Vihar had no spirit. It did not feel like a school but instead just a building you call
school. The place was depressing and in shambles. The teachers were unmotivated and had a lax attitude
towards teaching. Even students were not interested in any kind of study or any activity.

– So to boost their moral and bring back life to an overpopulated school I took various
following steps.

 Firstly I divided the school into two units with the permission and help of the department. This
created some breathing space for everyone and a manageable population of students.

 We refurbished the corridors by painting walls to create a feeling of love towards school among all
the teachers and students. Even teachers and students painted beautiful art on the walls so that they
belongingness towards the school.

 To bring life in to dead environment in school and bring enthusiasm among children many rallies
and drives were organized.
 Introduced Koti in place of dupattas in school uniform for students to make them feel smart.

 Thank You boards have been prepared to thank teachers and other staff for their special
contribution in the development of school.

 Etiquette boards to ensure that manners do not fall by the way side when parents are out of sight as
child spends a third of their day at school.

 ―Sparsh Yamuna Drive‖ was organized to create awareness among people to clean the River
Yamuna.

 Created awareness in society to educate the children through ―School Chalo Drive‖.
 Working for Laborers‘ children (52 children were adopted for inclusion with the regular school)
