Nurturing Students to be Successful in Global Society
Mar 2009
The era of globalization and liberalization is driving schools to churn out global citizens. However very few schools in the country have adapted their methodologies to incorporate global standards. Mysore, the educational capital of South India, has no dearth of educational institutions which churn out intellectual minds of high eminence in all fields of learning. The Jnanasarovara International Residential School is one such institution to reckon with.
Established in 2004, the school stands tall in facing the new challenges brought in by unprecedented changes in knowledge and global competition. In the recent times, the institution of schooling has undergone profound changes. Jnansarovara has set new benchmarks in schooling and attracting increasing number of students from India and abroad.
Curiosity to explore
Jnansarovara has a very well defined and modern perspective as far as learning and education is concerned.
'Learning should ultimately be the result of the child's curiosity to explore, experiment and innovate,' Says Sudhakar Shetty, Chairman and is quick to add, 'we leave no stone unturned in our efforts to make learning a pleasant, refreshing and enthusing experience.”
Jnanasarovara, the educational edifice is situated on 80 acres of land amidst lush greenery in one of the most peaceful and picturesque areas of Mysore, and is close to the Chamundi hills. “It is a world class children's university producing the finest school graduates to serve and lead the advanced society of tomorrow,” says Shetty and enlightens that Mysore, a basic seat of learning has produced numerous national level politicians of repute.
The USP of Jnanasarovara lies in combining the best of traditional and contemporary educational practices and values, and placing as much emphasis on sports and games, creative pursuits and personality development as on academics.
The Vision of a Universal Child
An educational institution in a globalised world should produce global citizens. So how does Jnanasarovara cater to this growing need? “We not only help students to excel academically, but also take the utmost care to identify and nurture their talents in sports and games cultural and creative areas so that when they graduate out of JIRSM, they are equipped with all the personal strengths to shape their own future in any corner of the world. That is our vision of a universal child”, Shetty tells SME WORLD.
Further Jnanasarovara also ensures that the learning ecosystem and infrastructure provided to students is at par with international standards. Cutting edge teaching techniques exploited by well trained and qualified teaching staff.
Shetty is the receipient of the Man of the Year Award from the American Biographical Institution for his social services and the prestigious Aryabhatta Award, 2004 for his educational services. Shetty was also elected as the Vice President to 'Mysore Chamber of Commerce, in the year 2004.
Value Education
The most outstanding aspect of Jnanasarovara is its unique residential environment which provides a home away from home to outstation students. Madam Sukhalatha Shetty, an expert in school children's residential care is infact the mother of the home away from home that Jnanasarovara represents. “Our ultimate goal is to impart value education with our elaborate special programmes in character development, civics, ecology, human rights, social skills, etiquette, personal hygiene and real-life subjects,” informs Madam Shetty.
Mission has a message
Jnanasarovara is truly an institution of the future with a unique mission of 'to nurture thirst for knowledge, creative talents, communication skills, and open-mindedness, courage of conviction, self-reliance, team spirit, leadership qualities and basic human values. “Education should primarily mean to develop inherent qualities in a child to make him acceptable and successful in any society in the world.”
