Rays of girls’ education emerged with the
commencement of Mata Rukmani Sewa Sansthan Jagdalpur in 1976 by Padmshree
Dharmpal Saini in Bastar taking
inspiration from Acharya Vinobha Bhave.
When such attempt was galvanized into modern
technique, Aadeshwar Academy came in to being. It was established on 21 June
2006.
The Historical day of the Grand Opening:
I still remember that there was torrential rain on
June 20, 2006 and people noticed VIP vehicles of the top-brass political
leaders and officials were rushing towards Halba Kachora the next day. The
officials were all set to welcome the then-chief minister of the state Dr.
Raman Singh who was arriving to inaugurate an educational institute i.e. an academy which later came to be
known as Aadeshwar Academy.
Inaugurating a school by the
dignitaries like CM was
not in practice those days that’s why it was taken as big event. With that,
Jagdalpur had a school with difference which advocated education without home
work and bags (sachet). It often says “ NO bags NO Home-work concept.”
True to the statement made by the scholars of the
region “ Aadeshwar had created a history on the day. Believe it or not
Aadeshwar had changed the traditional conception of the school education prevailing
during the period. While addressing the inaugural ceremony, Mahendra Karma
popularly known as Bastar Tiger said-“Students in Bastar don’t have to move out
of the town for better education on the contrary, outsider would come to
Bastar
for a world-class quality education.” His statement that was made in public
later turned out to be true. Now the Adeshwar has students from Dantewada,Bijapur, Kondagaun,Sukma, Malkangiri, Jayore, Vishakhapattanam etc. Let’s trace out some of the feature of the
school which made it a unique one.
Other schools were known for traditional teaching;
it is Aadeshwar that emphasized overall development of the children. It applied
certain measures in its curriculum. Some of
them are excerpts:
Smart Class
Unlike traditional classes of the other schools, Aadeshwar
Academy was the first to introduce smart class in every class room with a view
to visualize what the student learns. Soon after that, others also started
taking up smart class in their curriculum. As a result of which smart class is
quite common today in various schools. Unfortunately, the most of them have
structures look exactly like a tree without leaves or a body without soul.
Highest salary package
Aadeshwar provides higher salary package to its teaching
and non-teaching staff than others. The staff is from metro cities. It has been
observing for the past 14 years.
The alumni of the school are riding the crest of the
success today across the globe. I take the names of Mr. Saad Memon and Ayush
Parekh who made headway towards as an entrepreneur or scientist.
Saad Memon came into
limelight when he made a super computer in the country and became a part of
technical revolution. He is now in Andrews University in London. The Swis
government has sponsored him because of his extraordinary contribution.
Likewise Ayush Parekh has made his present felt in the business arena and
getting on well as the youngest business tycoon. Aadeshwar is churning out
extraordinary talents by each passing years.
Un
matched infrastructure
It is located about 5
km away from the main city and sprawled over 17 acres of land. It is equipped
with highly sophisticated amenities with modern kitchen in the hostels meant
for both boys and girls separately.
trained culinary staff
A well trained culinary staff consisting of
20 in number prepares meal to the taste of the students studying here. As the
students are from different areas of the region they are served to their taste.
The most important part of it is that meals are vegetarian in toto which
consists of seasonal fruits, juice, vegetables and milk compulsory.
Let’s get into the
academic part of it to discover the well equipped laboratory for all science
viz –a-viz physics, chemistry and biology. It has a modern library that affords
thousands of books and information.
30 students in a class
Aadeshwar always
emphasizes quality rather than quantity. It strictly follows CBSE guideline
that says there should be 30 students in a class. Thus, total number of the
student in a classroom neither exceeds more than 30 nor Aadeshwar encourages
it. More than 30 students will not be able to create healthy atmosphere of
learning and teaching.
Classrooms at Aadeswar
are furnished with ergonomic furniture which provide ample of comforts while
studying.
Aadeshwar Academy Jagdalpur had started
mathematics lab which enable students to understand maths and do sums easily.
School Cinema is one of
the innovative practices which Aadeshwar had started during its inception
through which the students enjoy the various movies made based on education and
learning. It organizes film festivals too inviting other to participate to gain
knowledge.
After education it is
compulsory for every student to participate in sports activity as their
interest at Aadeshwar. Well-trained sports teacher and coach guide them as
their interest arises. Many of the students of Aadehwar have bagged many prizes
in various competition held across the region at state and national level. The showcase with numerous shields and medals
placed right in-front of school office is the testimony of that.
Aadeshwar serves as a
training centre for those who are associated with it. However, they are not
part of it now but implementing those ideas in various sectors which they had
learnt from it.
Un-paralal two years:
Every year of Aadeshwar
is unique. However, I would like to give a cursory report of two years of
achievements which would give you a glimpse academic and non-academic
accomplishment.

Aadeshwar were selected in NIIT’s Maths lab in the session 2018-19 and they
were selected as runner up in a competition titled Nrityanjali.
Aadeshwar produced 100
percent result in 10 board exams.

Aadeshwar got selected from

student in entire Bastar region.
