Chinmaya Vidyalaya -School with a difference

ORGANISATION Chinmaya Vidyalayas are run under the auspices of the Central Chinmaya MIssion Trust., Mumbai, in different parts of the country. A managing committee consisting of the local members of the Chinmaya Mission and other interested people in the cause administers the Vidyalaya in each place. The School has nursery as well as primary classes in most of the centres. Montessori and other modern systems are adopted in the nursery section. In the primary classes, we follow the syllabus of CBSE. The medium of instruction is English. In a growing child, individuality unfolds over the years. Stage by stage his awareness and understanding ability and capabilities unfold as he becomes more and more aware of our world and gradually he moves from the dim consciousness of infancy through the dreamy days of childhood, to the intellectual awareness of adolscence and beyond to adulthood. We should assist in the awakening process in the healthiiest possible way by bringing to the child the right kind of educational nourishment. This is what Chinmaya Vidyalaya is aiming at with sincerity in the best interest of the childredn and their future.

CHINMAYA VISION PROGRAMME<br> A comprehensive Education Programme for Schools<br> Yatha Drishti Tatha Srishti -As the vision, so the world<br> If our vision is narrow and disturbed, the world is small and strife ridden to him. If his vision is broad and love-filled, the world is full of joy and peace. To develop the right vision in our children is to create a generation of truly dedicated; refined and noble Indians equipped and inspired to serve in various capacities, thereby fulfilling their lives. The Chinmaya Vidyalaya is an integral and important part of the world wide Chinmaya Movement which encompasses various spiritual, educational and social and cultural activities. There are about eighty Chinmaya Vidyalaya in the country. Everyone involved with the Chinmaya Vidyalaya is a cherished member of the Chinmaya family. Chinmaya Vision programme was born to enshrine the "Chinmaya Vision" in each heart in this family. Chinmaya Vision programme is a comprehensive educational programme for the Chinmaya VidyalayaS, which integrate the best in our culture and philosophy with academic education. It aims at giving the future citizens of our country a true vision of our life, to help them face challenges in a positive and dynamic manner and heartily contribute to society. The child is the focal point of this programme. The programme also embraces the school management, teachers and parents. Through them, the light of this vision spreads to the society, country and the world at large.<br> The Chinmaya Vision Programme (CVP) can be identified under four heads. 1. Integrated development of the child. 2. Indian Culture. 3. Patriotism 4. Universal Outlook INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHILD <br> Integrated development is the overall enfoldment and gentle blossoming of the child at the physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual levels of his/her personality. PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT<br> Physical development is good for health and proper growth of children leading to the optimum expression of their overall wellbeing. This includes physical fitness, nutrition, hygiene, personal grooming, health education, health assessment, prevention and treatment. MENTAL DEVELOPMENT<br> Mental development aims at making the child an emotionally balanced personality. It hereby helps the child to live in harmony with, himself in the world. It includes emotional expansion, handing emptions, mental health assessment and counselling. INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT<br> Man has infinite intellectual potential aims to help the child manifest his/her inherent intellectual capacities and enhance existing ones, to contribute positively to society and thereby fulfil himself/herself. It includes intellectual kindling, independent thinking, aesthetics, intellectual assessment and guidance. SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT<br> Man is potentially divine. Spiritual development enables the child to discover his/her inherent divinity and manifest it. It is achieved through value education, philosophy, meditation, techniques etc. INDIAN CULTURE<br> Culture is more than just art forms, festivals and rituals. Culture is the very way of life of a race and their thinking, which makes them unique and special. Under this head, the child is given a wide exposure to the various aspects of our rich culture, cultural awareness and appreciation of vast literacy, artistic and scientific heritage of our country, explanation of myths and traditions and cultural motivation, through hobbies and projects. PATRIOTISM<br> This vital area of focus includes an education in citizenship, civic consciousness, fostering pride in being Indian and national concern such as Unity in Diversity. Patriotism is inculcated in children with the aim of creating dedicated and committed citizens who take real pride in serving the nation. UNIVERSAL OUTLOOK<br> Universal outlook refers to an appreciation, sensitivity and commitment to universal issues. We must help our children to look at the world a new. Ancient Indians view the world in holistic way, where every being, from the unicellular organism to man has its own sacred place or pride. Ater years of mindless pillage of nature, the world needs to come back to this universal view of life. A universal outlook helps the child view himself/herself as a responsible citizen of the world (including world issues), live in harmony with creation (environment education and synthesis between science and religion) as well as become aware of being an intrinsic part of the macrocosm. Chinmaya Vision Programme augments the role of teacher, parent and the management on this ennobling endeavour.
