Message from the Principal
Dear Parents,
Greetings!
I am delighted to share that I have joined as the Principal of Shanti Niketan Senior Secondary School, Balotra, and I sincerely seek your support and cooperation as we work together to shape the future of our children.
To introduce myself briefly, I hold double post-graduate degrees in Zoology and Information Technology (Informatics Practices), and bring with me over 25 years of experience in the field of education. I am passionate about fostering a nurturing and forward-thinking environment where every child can thrive.
Each child is like a delicate sapling, and it is our joint responsibility to guide them with care, support, and direction. At Shanti Niketan, we firmly believe that education is not just rote learning and reproducing information in exams—it is a lifelong process of discovery, critical thinking, and personal growth.
Our approach is student-centered, going beyond textbooks and classrooms. We aim to equip students with practical skills, encouraging them to apply their knowledge to real-life situations and reflect critically on various issues. This prepares them not just for academic success, but for success in life.
Let us also take the lessons from the past to heart and chart a progressive path forward—together—as we strive to elevate Shanti Niketan to the heights of excellence it is destined for.
Important Information for Parents:
1. Meeting Schedule
To ensure smooth communication without disrupting academics, kindly follow the schedule below for school visits:
- Principal: Monday to Friday, 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM (or by prior appointment)
- Teachers: Only by prior appointment. Since they have teaching responsibilities, they will allocate meeting time based on their availability during free periods.
2. Timely Fee Payment
We are working to streamline various school processes. It has been observed that due to the busy nature of professional life, some parents may occasionally miss fee payment deadlines.
Please understand that timely fee payment is crucial for the smooth functioning of the school, including staff salaries and operational costs. While we are confident that Shanti Niketan parents are responsible and committed, this is a gentle reminder to help set clear and consistent systems.
I truly look forward to your continued support as we work hand in hand for the betterment of our school and students. My heartfelt wishes are always with every member of the Shanti Niketan family.
Warm Regards,
Sudha Madan
Principal
Shanti Niketan Sr. Sec. School, Balotra
