I am where talents are staged. I am where hard work is appreciated. I am a place visited and blessed by thousands. I am where the buds are bloomed. I am VidhyaNiketan, who is a brain-child of my creator-Mrs. Rajini Krishnamurthy, who has infused her belief in my motto-“Knowledge Bestows Humility”.
I was born on the 4th of June, 1992, in one of Southern India’s fastest growing cities, the Manchester of South India, Coimbatore. This is my successful 22nd year as a place where knowledge is bestowed, discipline is a must and fun is guaranteed. This is obvious in the quality of a wide array of facilities I provide in academics, culturals and sports. When students come to me, I become their home and the teachers become their parents. So, my students have always loved me and will continue to do so. After all, they’ve given me the title-“Cool School!”
My creator, Rajini Krishnamurthy ma’am, is a great educator who has whole-hearted dedication to education and to her school. She is an inspiration for many and I am proud to be a part of her life.
After a certain age, humans become weaker as they get older. But in my case, I become stronger, housing increasing population of quality students and experienced staff members. So, every year, my annual day is celebrated with lots of gaiety and effort. Our Paatshala which is in vogue since 2009, is no less an event. This student’s talent fest was introduced by two of my old students, which shows that I respect the ideas of my students. While these two events are to showcase our cultural talents, our annual sports day is to exhibit the talents of our athletes.
A tactful, dedicated captain is needed for the safe journey of a ship. Rajini Krishnamurthy Ma’am has been the definition for ‘Captain’ and will continue to be the same. But, my students need captains who think the way they do. So, elections are conducted every year for the posts of School pupil leader(SPL), Assistant School pupil leader (ASPL) and the house captains for the houses-Chera, Chola, Pandya, and Pallava.
When parents were looking for a good school with CBSE syllabus, Ma’am came up with the idea of VidhyaNiketan Public School, who is a sibling of mine. It was started in 2011 and has completed three triumphant years.
My students, from K-G level, are carved gradually into leaders who are prepared for all challenges. When my students walk out of me as perfect sculptures, each one leaves behind unforgettable memories which I recollect and relish with tears in my eyes and a smile on my lips. – S. S.
