Durgawati Hemraj Tah Saraswati Vidya Mandir, Uttar Pradesh - Providing holistic education to its students since 1990

Established in the year 1990, Durgawati Hemraj Tah Saraswati Vidya Mandir, is located in Nehru Nagar, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.  Present principal of the school, Shri Vipin Rath ji, recently gave a short interview, discussing about the school, its facilities and its uniqueness.

Durgawati Hemraj Tah Saraswati Vidya Mandir was founded with the following objectives in mind : 

• Provide quality education to the children of Ghaziabad,

• Promote holistic development among the students,

• To transform the students into ideal citizens of our country, who are socially conscious and rooted in Indian culture.

Throughout  the years, the school has followed its core objectives and grew from strength to strength. Presently the school has more than 1300 students (including boys and girls) and 48 teachers.

The school is equipped with all modern facilities, required in a state of the art school. It is well equipped with science and computer labs with modern equipment, as well as audio and information systems. All systems of the computer lab are connected with Net facility where students are taught basic and advanced computer applications such as Logo design, Windows, Multimedia, MS-Office, Database Management System (DBMS), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) Projects etc.  The school also maintains a well-stocked library, replete with a wide variety of books on various subjects.

In the academic sector, the school has started an innovative concept of ‘Peer Teaching’ where students are encouraged to help each other to learn new topics. This not only has a positive impact on their academic performance, but also strengthens peer camaraderie and teamwork.

The students are encouraged to use modern technology for their studies, and all school assignments are circulated via Whatsapp. The students also use the ‘Diksha App’ as a part of their curriculum.

Alongside providing the students with good academics, Saraswati Vidya Mandir gives immense importance to extracurricular activities among which sports is the most significant. The school organizes a range of sporting activities and maintains sports equipment that caters to all the sporting needs of its students.  The school is also associated with well known sporting organisations such as SGFI, Kreeda Bharti, and Vidya Bharti Khel Parishad so that the students can get good exposure and compete in state or national level competitions in their chosen fields.

Apart from sports the school runs several clubs for the students to provide them with all round development, such as: 

Aesthetic Club, Hindi Literary Club, English Literary Club, Maths Club, Science Club, Heritage Club, Sports Club, Chhatra Sansad etc. The students are also taught yoga and meditation each day to improve their concentration and make them physically fit. 

As in all Vidya Bharati schools, the students are taught to lead a life of service, take care of their environment and help others. The school has recently started a campaign to stop the use of ‘single use plastics’, which have received a great response from the students and their parents. Frequent campaigns are also organised by the students, where they collect money and provide essential goods to the financially disadvantaged sections of the society. The students devote their time and visit old age homes and orphanages or organise one day workshops in nearby villages to share their knowledge with the residents regarding various important topics pertaining to health and hygiene.

As a testament to the high quality education provided by the school, most of the alumni have been able to secure good positions in the society, including doctors, IITians, Chartered Accountants, bureaucrats, National level sports players and defence personnel. 

As per Shri Vipin Rath ( school principal) the main aim of the school management  is to provide the best  infrastructure to the students and the staff and to create an ambience of learning, philanthropy and nation building.

Durgawati Hemraj Tah Saraswati Vidya Mandir is an exemplary school that makes an effort to not only educate its students, but to make them into ideal citizens for our country
