The Shikshiyan School

PRINCIPAL’S TAKE:

Dear Parents I extend my heartiest greetings to all parents and students to the second edition of the

‘Samvad’ our Newsletter. I thank you all for your love, faith and cooperation in the journey

of success of The Shikshiyan.

‘SAMVAD’ is an amalgamation of creative brilliance and achievements of the school in all

areas like sports, co-curricular and academics. It is my firm conviction that the students of

Shikshiyan will stride in life with confidence and success. Along with academics, the mentors

here also lay great stress on moral and emotional development of each and every child. The

vision is ‘holistic development’ of each child which can be achieved or attained through

persistent hardwork, dedication and commitment.

The importance of independence cannot be overemphasised. Not only the humans but all

other living creatures yearn for freedom and

independence. A free bird flying in the sky is happier in

comparison to a parrot in a golden cage. Realizing the

importance of freedom, lakhs of indians have sacrificed

their lives under the leadership of able freedom fighthers

such as Chandrashekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh etc. and have

fought bravely against the British Rule and have gifted this

free and independent India to us. Hence by celebrating the

Independence Day we pay tribute and show our respect to

the freedom fighters who have sacrficed their lives for

making India free from British Rule and further take pledge

that it is our duty to protect the dignity of Mother India.
