Late Shri OP Jindal, former Member of Parliament, philanthropist,
industrialist of Haryana had a vision of a progressive state where men
and women would be equal to each other and in their equality lay the secret
for the state's advancement.
The
result of this vision was the birth of Vidya Devi Jindal School, a girls
residential school at Hisar in Haryana (India). It
was the maiden venture of the Vidya Devi Jindal Rural Development Trust
established in 1981 by Shri OP Jindal. The school became functional in July
1984 and was granted recognition by Central Board of Secondary Education
(CBSE), the same year.
The
motto of the school is enshrined in the Sanskrit words Vidya Jyoti
Jeevan Jyoti which means 'the light of knowledge is the light of life'.
All efforts are directed towards the achievement of this objective
considering that education is a social vehicle, which must drive you to
forge ahead and be a carriage for new ideas.
At
VDJS, a Residential School for Girls, the medium of teaching is
the English language. The school provides education that nurtures the
traditions of our culture and also absorbs the finer influences of the west.
It focuses on all round development of personality and thorough education of
girls in order to make them conscientious and responsible citizens. More
importantly, the school imparts the right values and norms of behavior, thus
helping the girl students enhance their confidence and poise.
The
school is set in restful and calm surroundings. The spacious campus boasts
of an imaginative and inventively constructed academic wing, a utility
block, a large auditorium, a health club, an infirmary, a dining hall with a
seating capacity of 1000 students, an outdoor swimming pool, a roller
skating rink and four hostels to accommodate 800 students. Accommodation for
all members of the school too is provided on the campus itself.
At VDJS
education is a great learning experience.
VDJS boarding
schools exclusively for girls in Hisar focuses on all aspects of a student's
life. The student focuses on improvement and awareness in five areas:
emotional,
mental,
physical,
social,
and
spiritual.
All five areas are essential to the success of the student. When a student
takes the steps to develop into a complete, well-rounded person she is on
the "trail to success".
Students and staff work together to develop a unique blend. VDJS has a
community of warmth, respect, mutual cooperation, friendship, leadership,
and love. The students and the staff are truly a team.
Students have opportunities to develop leadership skills. Each student has
the opportunity of leading a community service project; developing budgeting
skills; planning, preparing, and serving a meal; planting a garden;
developing a resume; building crafts, etc. Taking part in skill building
projects is an everyday occurrence.
Students discover who they are and learn to share themselves with the people
they come into contact with. Each student learns to confront the past and
look forward to the future by following a very proven "Trail to Success".
This "Trail to Success" leads each student to develop self-esteem,
self-awareness, self-confidence, self-reliance and self-management.
A model for learning and leadership development transforming
character-building life experience into a high level of self-knowledge,
personal connection with the world around them, and an excellent mentoring
and educational experience.
