Further Strategies to Improve School

The following are the areas with respect to our school that we want to take up next for transformation:

A. Fostering skill based learning: We believe that skill based education is the need of the hour. In our
country demand for skilled professional is very high and desire to get skilled is low. The learners, parents
and the society prefer socially acceptable qualifications in pure academic subjects. There is misconception
in our society that skill based education leads to low paid jobs and it is perceived to be meant for only
academically weak students, school dropouts and people in the lower strata of the society.

We intend taking following steps with respect to this area:

1. Making portfolios of the students which will have minute details about the learners from the time they
take admission in the school till the time they pass out from the school. The socio-economic status,
academic transformation, the areas of interest, aptitudes, the strong and the weak areas, the
achievements, trainings, skills imbibed by the learners will be recorded in the portfolio. This will
enable the learners to have better understanding about them, to stress on their strong points and to
caress their interests.

2. Organising interactive sessions with the help of experts from different fields for the students so that
they can channelize their interests and aptitudes in the right directions.

3. Arranging field visits so that the students get direct exposure to the skill based world.

4. Organising events like ‗Bazaar day‘, ‗consumer fairs‘, competitions like cooking competition, braid
making, flower arrangement, costume designing, jewellery making, setting up of kitchen garden,
floriculture garden, etc.

B. Harnessing solar energy: Solar energy is a renewable free source of energy that is sustainable and
totally inexhaustible. It is a non-polluting source of energy. Trapping solar energy and converting it into
usable form can effectively help us overcome energy crisis in future. We intend installing appropriate
system (solar panels) to harness and convert solar energy into electricity.

Harnessing solar energy will serve the following purposes:

1. Uninterrupted power supply.
2. Avoid frequent power failures and voltage fluctuations.
3. Cost effective power consumption.
4. Aid in decreasing environmental pollution.
5. Lifelong learning experience for the students.
6. Storage of energy for future use.
