Vidyaranya High School for Boys and Girls, and to inform you that our school will complete fifty years on 6 January 2011.
Shanta Rameshwar Rao, the founder of our school, has often said that Vidyaranya is more than a school, it is a way of life. Those of us who were students during the early years of Vidyaranya, now realise that, yes, it was a very special way of life that we had in school.
The old school buildingAlmost all children enjoy their school years. Why then do we feel that our school was especially wonderful or different? Perhaps, the nature of interaction between teacher and student was unique in its informality. Both were encouraged to think and query rather than accept ideas unquestioningly, and the ideal was that learning take place without fear of failure and judgement. Was it this that created a closer relationship between the teachers and the taught and made the school such a happy place?
As students we benefited from education at Vidyaranya and would now like to help the school in various ways. To this end, we have set up the Vidyaranya Alumni Foundation, a trust that will help organise activities and projects on an on-going basis.
Vidyaranya was started with the objective of making school a happy place, and learning, a happy experience. Learning is a natural process and happens best when the learner is eager to learn. It comes about in an atmosphere of love, good relationship and friendliness and only when both the teacher and the taught have open and receptive minds. Learning based on fear and coercion is not real learning and respect extracted through such fear, again, is not real respect at all. Fear and other inhibitions as well as authoritarian attitudes build walls of resistance between students and teachers.
Vidyaranya was started in the hope that teachers, parents and children would come together in a spirit of friendliness, love, and freedom from fear.
