CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Warm Greetings to the Oxford Family
It is indeed a great honour and responsibility to chair the Board of Governors for Shri Gyan Sarswati Education Society. I am grateful to all the former and current parents, students, teachers and all staff members of OTGS for trusting me since 30 years to serve the best quality education in the town, Nanded.
The driving force to help in earnest cannot be based on guilt or pressure; but a deep sense of inner gratitude and a sustained wish to help do whatever little unconditionally. This deep sense of gratitude emanates from the two-fold test i.e. ability to do and the intention to deliver…thus the wherewithal to have the ability to help/assist co-existing with an inner desire of positivity to work and deliver is where we find ourselves blessed.
Formal education taps latent abilities and opens up an altogether different world. Education has enormous transformative power for any given crisis. Everyone deserves the best start in life, and that won’t be possible without quality education. If we need our future to be just andsustainable, we have to think collectively. For this gathered effort, education is the strongest tool. Education cannot be restricted to a single period of one’s life. Everyone, beginning with the most marginalized and disadvantaged members of our societies, must be entitled to lifelong learning opportunities for both employment/career perspectives as well as personal knowledgeand development.
The School’s mission is to attract and develop exceptional students and teachers from all backgrounds to serve a meritocratic India. OTGS is an inclusive school that celebrates and embraces diversity. Diversity for us is in terms of geography, socio-economic background, and skill sets.
Differentiated learning and teaching strategies along with an inclusive approach are at the core of the curriculum.
Academics at OTGS is a distinguishing characteristic. It challenges the intellect and nurtures the potential of each student to acquire knowledge, concepts, and skills necessary to become thinking, productive, and responsible citizens.
Sports has been an integral part of OTGS education. This belief stems from the philosophy that learning occurs both inside the classroom and outside of it. Participation in sports keeps young minds and bodies engaged positively and helps to develop sensorimotor faculties.
Additionally, the co-curricular program is perhaps the soul of OTGS where the aim is to promote the spirit of exploration, curiosity, character development, team building, building strategies, leadership, individualism, and overall empathy for all. The list of skills that we have is not an exhaustive one. A few examples are resilience, empathy, leadership, integrity, communication, collaboration, etc. The activity program that we offer aims to instil these skills.
Our priority, as has been so of my predecessors, is to ensure a progressive, inspiring, stimulating and above all, a happy environment in School. The Board, the Headmaster and the school management remain committed to this endeavour.
Mr. Srinivas Dhyavarshetty.
Chairman
