Under the guidance of Bharatiya Shiksha Sansthan and Vidya Bharati, 45 Shishu Vidya Mandirs have been selected from among the 988 Shishu Vidya Mandirs in Odisha for a special educational review and development initiative.
As part of this initiative, five distinguished educationists from different states of India visited Gosain Nuagaon Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir in Ganjam district, Odisha, for a period of four days. The purpose of their visit was to undertake an in-depth study of the institution’s academic practices,
educational environment, environmental awareness, and social engagement, with particular emphasis on strengthening the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP).
During their four-day visit, the educationists participated in and observed several important programmes and activities, including:
Classroom observations and academic assessments
Parent–Teacher interaction meetings
Matrubharti meetings
Vidwat Parishad meetings
Discussions on improving the overall quality of education
Review of teaching-learning practices and educational activities
Interaction with teachers, parents, and members of the school community
The visiting educationists also studied the educational framework and teaching methodologies in the light of the National Education Policy (NEP) and through the framework and academic initiatives associated with SCERT. They carefully examined the school’s academic system, pedagogical practices, co-curricular activities,
and its approach towards the holistic development of students.
The educationists expressed their appreciation and were particularly inspired by the academic system, teaching methodology, discipline, and educational environment of Gosain Nuagaon Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir. They observed that the institution is making meaningful efforts towards the holistic development of children, in accordance with the broader objectives of contemporary educational reforms.
Based on their observations and interactions during the visit, the visiting educationists expressed the view that Gosain Nuagaon Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir has strong potential to emerge as a recognized and exemplary educational institution in Odisha in the coming years.
Throughout the four-day visit, the Headmaster, members of the Managing Committee, and other members of the school community remained present and extended their wholehearted cooperation and support to the visiting educationists. Their active participation contributed significantly to the smooth and successful completion of the educational review programme.
The four-day visit was therefore not merely an academic inspection but also a valuable opportunity for mutual learning, exchange of educational ideas, institutional reflection, and strengthening the quality of school education in accordance with the vision of the National Education Policy.
