From the Principal’s Desk
My Dear Students and Parents
I am feeling honoured to welcome you all to Kalpana Eklavaya Vidayalayam. It will be a school where all our students will have the opportunity to realize their dream. Our school will function based on the core democratic value of our country where people in different roles and responsibilities in the school will play their part freely and responsibly and thus making it truly an institution of the people, for the people and by the people.
It’s our firm belief that all students can meet their expectations by achieving high standards. We also believe that individual differences exist, and different students have different educational needs. We shall address the differentiated needs of our students with differentiated pedagogical practice without compromising on standards. It would be our commitment & responsibility to personalize the educational experience for each of our students so that they can achieve high standards.
We will invest our resources not just in our students’ academic success but also in their all-round personality development & their well-being. We are going to have sports, yoga, health, music, drama, debate, fine arts, language & literature clubs which will help them not only in honing their special latent talent but will also be ensuring their all-round development and growth.
We, at Kalpana Eklavya Vidyalayam, have a dream of making every student an engaged learner, every teacher a caring educator and every parent a supporting partner.
We look forward to working with you all to make our school a greater and better institution for generations to come.
Best Wishes,
Principal Kalpana Eklavya Vidyalayam
