"The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep..."
"Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself " stated John Dewey. PM SHRI GSSS , Balsamand concurs on the magnitude of this statement and strives to impact the lives of the students under its fold with positive and transforming learning experiences. The holistic intervention in education is imperative at every growth phase of the student. We are thus constantly striving to provide a conducive environment to create a balance in the academic, emotional, spiritual, creative and physical development of students.
We are aware of the fact that the govt. educational sector suffered a severe stagnation & inertia for over two decades and particularly during COVID-19 when the pandemic brought traditional education system to a standstill. We do believe that in today's world where change is constant and fast paced, we need to, as educators, adapt to the continuous innovative models and trends and in education research.
There is an increased awareness among the educators of the need to integrate what are called as 21st Century skills in educational systems. There are three key 21stcentury skills; Learning Skills such as critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration; Literacy Skills such as information literacy, media literacy and digital literacy; and Life Skills such as flexibility, leadership, initiative, productivity and selfawareness. Our focus is on enhancing the skills required for a successful adult life in 21st Century and as Model Sanskritians, we ensure that the students are able to think scientifically, mathematically or artistically to face the real-life challenges in an information and technology driven world and enhance their inherent potential..
John. F Kennedy once said, "A child miseducated is a child lost." Thus at PMSHRIGGSSS, Balsamand, we go the extra mile to delve into all the developmental aspects of the student. We provide continuous training to our staff in order that they may be agents of qualitative and holistic transformation in the lives of the students who pass through the portals of our institution.
Today we stand in the threshold of a new era - an era empowered by 'knowledge economy'. Even as we prepare to ride the waves of change, our foundations are built on solid rock, firmly anchored on strong life principles. PM SHRI GSSS , Balsamand prides itself in not only being an institution imparting life's latest know - how but also instilling human core values. Robert Frost's lines quoted here truly reflect PMSHRIGGSSS, Balsamand's journey of excellence and constant endeavour to transform and shape the lives of our students, not singularly in the pursuit of personal excellence but coupled with a social conscience.
