Principal: Dr. Gladis Diana The institute was founded by Swami Shri Hariprasaddasji, who also served as the institute’s first Chairman. He was a man known for his philanthropy. The current principal, Dr. Gladis Diana is dedicated to providing every girl child the opportunity of rising in life through quality education. She is full of ideas about disseminating knowledge in such ways that the students face least stress.
Life in a digital age The truth is that we live in a digital age, and hence it is the duty of the teaching faculty to find ways of integrating technology into the curriculum. Digital tools bring to us learning opportunities that can capture the imagination and prepare the students for the world outside of the classroom. The ability to find, use, summarise, evaluate, and commu-
nicate information is critical for success in the global knowledge economy. Digital tools can help students develop such practical skills.
Technologies deployed The school is equipped with digital technologies like Interactive Whiteboards, Touchscreen, Audio-visual screens, Mexus tools, and many other kinds of hardware and software. In times to come we would like to provide a tablet to each one of our students. Every student in our institute has access to her own computer for education. We occasionally make use of content available on the World Wide Web and Cloud Space to enhance the scope of the education we are offering. The websites of NCERT, CBSE are excellent resources. We also find good content on YouTube, Merit Nation and through search engines like Google.
Vision Statement We are inspired by the dream of creating a positive change in our students through quality education so that they can thrive and succeed in the world 48
