Teachers have undergone essential CPD training from the DIKSHA portal, aligning them with NEP 2020’s implementation. The Principal’s leadership development training by CBSE has effectively enhanced school management.
The introduction of art-integrated, sports-integrated, toy-based pedagogy, and experiential learning has brought joy and creativity to the classrooms, fostering life skills, value, gender sensitivity, and environmental awareness among students.
Traditional classrooms have been transformed into digital classrooms, embracing modern learning methodologies.
Various skill subjects like Handicrafts, Healthcare, IT, Physical Activity Trainer, and Library & Information Science have been introduced, catering to students’ diverse interests. Special classes for JEE and NEET, supported by various NGOs, have facilitated students’ pursuit of higher education aspirations.
