                     Education at school means more...
                     Education indeed carves a path for every child to attain knowledge and develop skills
                     to endure the challenges ahead but what makes a child complete? It‟s the quality of
                     education that shapes every child and enables the child to achieve greater success in
                     life. Imparting holistic education is not merely a concept but a pursuit to ensure
                     excellence in learning and this can be done only with passion. A seat of learning
                     established with AES core values becomes monumental in making a child complete.
Dr Verghese Kurien   From infrastructure to acoustic, Library to Laboratories, Learning centre to
                     Playground, Corridor to Classrooms, Curriculum to Syllabus, Lessons to
                     Learning….all are edified. In order to produce intended result we envisage,
                     ecstatically emanate, embark and elegantly elevate a child.
                     Love to do what you are supposed to…
                     Showing the way to transform crisis into success, depression into elation, Challenge
                     into opportunity and failures into great achievements is what a teacher does.
                     Whenever a critical situation in life of a child arises the teacher must perceive with
                     insight the time, place, situation and people involved and conceive with imagination
                     and creativity about the possible solutions to the crisis. Studying in the same school
                     for 14 years from K.G to the twelfth standard the school becomes the second home for
                     a child. A lot of investment goes into making of a child. But at the end of the day if
                     the child doesn‟t attain a situation in which he knows if he is doing justice to his
                     potentials, all such investments go in vain. Exploring hidden talent of a child and
                     honing the same for his betterment is a moral responsibility of a teacher. For this
                     pursuit one has to be absolutely democratic in thoughts and actions. Child must
                     know what he is worthy of. In fact we all become what we become in life because
                     someone believed in us much before we began to believe in ourselves. This trust of a
                     teacher on his/her students is an important motivating factor which shapes a child
                     ultimately making him proudly proclaim-“ I am My teacher‟s product.” Moreover
                     while discovering a child, a teacher, eventually discovers himself. A lot of
                     transparency is required to be maintained while educating a child and every teacher
                     must practice“ the inevitable law of Transparent values of Education” at all costs
                     .Hidden agenda of education is dangerous and it transforms the concept of holistic
                     education into farce system of giving importance to oneself to appease the
                     management. Feeding the curiosity of a child is the real education not the marks or
                     the grade a teacher awards on the answer scripts of a child. Serving as a ladder to
                     create leaders is whom we call a teacher…in the process he remains where he is...but
                     this is what we need to do. Expecting too much from a child is an undesirable notion.
                     All educators must realise that it is their dharma to create….and create they shall as
                     teachers…twenty years back it was him…..today it is someone else...and in future it
                     will be someone else. The greatest reward of a teacher is when his students come back
                     to him after many years and share with him their success stories….and a step ahead
                     when someone remarks… “Dear Teacher, you sank deep into me.”

Let‟s ponder—In how many more lives are we becoming useful? Without moral and
ethical accountability any success assured is merely an educational business. A
teacher has to be involved in emotional business. Building blocks of children are
those motivating factors which lead them to a state of happiness. A teacher has to be
conscious in selecting those blocks so that they make a child live a life worthy of his
potential. Any effort made unconsciously even with a fair intention to build them up
may turn up to be stumbling stones for any child. Hence it‟s imperative on part of a
teacher to ensure that whatever a child is doing, he is doing with a sense of gratitude
and he enjoys doing it as well. It gives immense pleasure to be a part of a child‟s
rejoice in contrast with evaluating a child in a chamber with a lot of papers blotted in
red and then planning a schedule to re-evaluate him for the same components to
please the yellow pages of a school‟s examination file.
Be useful…infuse a Midas touch….Be the change to change lives…shed the armour of
comparison…throw the weapons of criticism…be courageous….take the onus of both
the success and the failure of your children ……Be a teacher.
Teachers are required to be inspirations for many lives. Leaving a legacy to life is not
an easy task. Teachers incarnate in their children. And the legacy of created ethical
world is the only asset we all can bank upon. On this auspicious day of Teachers‟ Day
I pay my respect to all Gurus of this earth and acknowledge their efforts in making
this world a beautiful place to live on. Do the best you can……and leave rest on

Rakshabandhan Celebration
On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan the
tiny tots along with cadets of 4 Gujarat
Girls BN NCC from Anandalaya went to
the NCC Group headquarter, V. V. Nagar
(4 Gujarat Boys BN and 13 GUJBN) on
24th August, 2018, to tie eco-friendly
rakhis on the wrists of jawans of the
Indian Army. The rakhis were made by
each of the tiny tots. The children were briefed about the role that soldiers and armed
forces play in the protection and safety of the nation. Touched by the gestures and
conversation of the children, Col. Gaur, Commanding Officer of 4 Gujarat Boys BN,
expressed pride at being honoured on this blessed occasion. One of the soldiers stated
that „the small sisters so lovingly have tied rakhis even before our own sister‟s rakhi
                                                           could reach us.‟

Parents’ Week – 27&28-09-2018

We at Anandalaya believe that parents are our         The Senior KG parents collaborated and put up 3
indispensable partners in nurturing the young         stage shows on-
minds. To encourage parental participation the        „ Indian Railways- the life line‟
preschool organised the Parents‟ Week from 24th       „Mahishasurmardhini - victory of good over evil‟
September to 28th September 2018.                     „Sadda Punjab- professing health‟
                                                      The idea was to stimulate all the senses of the
                                                      children and promote quicker learning and
                                                      permanent retention.
                                                      This initiative helped established a very good
                                                      rapport with parents. In addition, it has further
                                                      strengthened the teacher-student-parent bonding.

Eighty three parents from Junior KG and 67
parents from Senior KG participated in the week
long programme. All the parents displayed
exemplary work and made a commendable
contribution to our asset of resources.

                                                      Anandalaya continues to acknowledge the efforts
                                                      of parents who selflessly collaborate and
                                                      contribute. In this regard, three mother
                                                      ambassadors were felicitated for their „Nishkam
