KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA MUZAFFARNAGAR Situated in the heart of the sugarcane belt, Kendriya Vidyalaya Muzaffarnagar was established in 1999. 9 acres of land tailored to suit the educational needs of children, has all the facilities – well ventilated classrooms, science and computer labs, playground, drinking water and sanitation facilities. GENESIS Established under the aegis of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, an autonomous body under the ministry of HRD, the vidyalaya had classes 1 to 5 started in the old building which earlier belonged to DIET (District Institute of Educational Training). In the year 2002, first batch of X class appeared. Double section school started in 2003 in the new building. 2 Playgrounds were developed. In the same year classes XI-XII with science stream started running in the Vidyalaya. In 2009, commerce stream was also introduced. TODAY’S SCENARIO Today, our vidyalaya has total strength of 1000 students and 40 teachers. 24 classrooms, physics, chemistry and biology labs, 2 computer labs with 56 computers, huge playgrounds, a junior science lab, and 2 resource rooms for primary and secondary sections respectively provide only the infrastructure which is used optimally by our qualified teachers to create the right atmosphere for teaching-learning process. The results of the board classes with a Performance Index of 64.7 in class 12th and 67 in class 10th is testimony to this. SCHOLASTICS Besides the board class results, our Vidyalaya pays special attention to the tiny tots through programmes like Common Minimum Programme (CMP) which is a flagship programme of KVS. Under this, children are taught through powerpoint presentations, activities, games and movies through the facilities made available in the primary section’s activity room. The participations in various academic competitions like maths, science and cyber olympiads and ‘Kishore vaigyanik protsahan yojana, expands the mental horizon of our children and equips them for the tough competition. CO-SCHOLASTICS Sports and games have been an integral part of the school curriculum where infrastructure for indoor and outdoor games exists to provide our students all the opportunities to explore their talents. Coaches appointed in cricket, football, volleyball, basketball and athletics are leaving no stone unturned to identify and nurture future Sachin Tendulkars, P.T. Ushas. Our students fetched 2 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze medals at KVS regional level games while two of our students fetched gold in national games in Judo and Kho-Kho. One student, Rahul Rana went on to participate in SGFI games in judo. We also conduct quiz competitions, debates, declamations and group discussions at school, regional and national level, to sharpen their communication and thinking skills and enrich their knowledge on social and political matters. Talents of our students in the field of music, dance and dramatics comes to the fore through various co-curricular activities planned throughout the year. Under the house system, the competitions are held house-wise to encourage and explore the talents of students which culminates in the grandeur of the annual function. The scout and guide programmes is live and thriving in the vidyalaya with the objective of inculcating the values of self-discipline and social welfare. National Adolescent Education Programme (NAEP) Sponsored by United Nation’s Development Programme (UNDP), this programme is introduced with an aim to support and strengthen the emotional, social and moral foundation of our adolescents who are passing through a delicate phase of their life. Workshops on AIDS awareness, substance abuse, and peer pressure are held from time to time. In the end, it would be appropriate to mention that the policy of our vidyalaya and KVS in general believes in education as the birthright of every child without any discrimination of caste, creed, class and gender. We are proud to say that we do not select our students on the basis of the educational and financial background of their parents but we take even the first generation learner and help him reach the top. In this context, the parent-teacher association and our interaction with the local community at large is very active and vibrant and gives us the correct feedback for further improvement of our vidyalaya. This philosophy aptly represents our motto of “ rr\ Roe\ iwYau\ Aiao`.aq “ Taken from a shloka of bZ’kkokLykksifuYan\ Which means “ o! God of light, please unveil the golden vessel which obscures the truth and show us that which is true and righteous.” THANK YOU!
