December 2, 2021 was a very special day for the students, staff and management of Sai Krushna Vidya Mandir, Hosadoddi Village, Bengaluru. Padma Vibhushan Dr. K. Kasturirangan, Advisor to the Prime Minister, Chairman of National Education Policy (NEP), 2020 and Former Chairman, ISRO visited the school. He spent over 20 minutes interacting with the teachers and students of Class 10. Subsequently, some students from classes 8 and 9 also displayed their exhibits on Science, Educare, Medicare, and Sociocare.
Dr. Kasturirangan was very impressed with the fluency and confidence with which the children communicated with him. He was very appreciative of the excellent efforts of the teachers, volunteers and management in developing this 100 percent Free Rural School applying the latest tools in technology. He was amazed to know of multiple volunteer driven projects such as Virtual mentoring, Teacher pal, Peer to peer learning, educational videos during Covid, migrant seva and life saving Helpline + concentrators seva during Covid.
Wishing Sai Krushna Charitable Trust the very best, he expressed his keenness to support the Trust’s efforts in expanding its scope and activities via the Sai Krushna Grama project. By Swami’s grace, Sai Krushna Vidya Mandir will also continue to work closely as a pilot school in NEP implementation.
