Mahatma ND Grover DAV Public School, Bundu, Ranchi is a co-educational English medium school that came into existence in the year 2011. This school is a realization of the value and dreams of the great visionary Late Mahatma Narayan Das Grover, a pioneer in spreading education to every nook and corner of the region especially the rural and tribal areas and also inculcating Vedic values. Starting on a modest scale with lower classes and a handful of teachers, the school has endeavored to provide the best of education to all and especially to students who come from the weaker and poor section of the society.
At present our school has students from classes pre-nursery to 8. We have taken the responsibility to prepare and empower these young minds in their formative years to learn about life and the myriad forms of living. Any strong building rests on a strong foundation and so it has been our endeavour to patiently guide these young minds to transform them into kind and compassionate adults. For this, we go beyond books to help our students develop essential social and interpersonal skills.
These are uncertain times. Online classes have replaced traditional classroom teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our teachers became students as they tried to master the ropes of digital learning and searched for pedagogical tools to make the transition to online learning more student-friendly. Besides, both teachers and students had to overcome challenges such as unreliable access to the internet or poor connectivity. Sometimes, our students were smarter in this area and taught our teachers how to unscramble from a digital mess. Credit to our teachers for adopting and adapting new digital teaching methods. Parents also co-operated in this atmosphere of home study and distance education. That is real team work and shows that our school is a community.
A positive that has emerged from this situation is that we are open to new ideas and flexible to change. It is not certain yet what the new normal will be post pandemic. But we have been through it together and are certain that whatever the odds, we will remain upbeat and overcome them to emerge stronger. That is our vision and our mission.
Good luck to all.
