[DRAFT]
In a Scenario, where all factors, Socio-Economic, Language, Culture, Density of Population,
Infrastructure etc. were extremely challenging and Unfavorable, We Took up The Challenge!!!
Our challenges were many, but it was of Utmost Importance to identify the most Fundamental and
Profound issues, so as to start the process of Ideation to find the Right Solutions. All our Deliberations
and Discussions Highlighted Two Cardinal Issues
1) New Enrolments every academic year and
2) Retaining the existing students
Efforts initiated or the Process of Transformation
Both the above issues were in a way Inter-related. We had to get new students, so as to retain them in the
future; and we needed to retain the existing to get the new.
Our analysis of the above issues focused on:
a) as to why ‗in the first place‘ had the child been admitted in our school.
b) why would the parents retain the child, in spite of other options.
c) why did the parent shift the child from our school.
d) why did the parent not shift the child from our school.
Our Findings were:
If the child was admitted with the Free Will of the Parents, then the Child was retained, inspite of
other options and hardships, if we could give our best.
If the child was with us because, in that particular year, all other options had closed, then retaining
would require a Dramatically Different approach.
The most Encouraging FIND was that, though Infrastructure mattered, it wasn‘t the PRIME
FACTOR, provided the Basic facilities like Clean Toilets, Clean Surroundings, Safety of the Kids
was assured and the Staff was Passionate and Compassionate, the Aesthetics could take a BACK
SEAT.
Also it was very encouraging to note that our Philosophy to Inculcate Bhartiya Sanskar in the
Students through all our Activities was a Major Factor Contributing to Our Success!!
