Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam said, “Excellence is a continuous process and not an accident.” That is
what we believe in IJRS, that one should continuously strive to better oneself, to chase ones
dream and become a successful individual.
The school is making continuous and constant efforts to mold such individuals who would be
future citizens of this country and an asset to society.
Even though our prime focus is on academics, we also foster cultural and literary activities,
sports, yoga and pranayama, music, chess and self-defense (Karate) for the overall well being of
the child.
The Management has been contributing without any restraint towards all facilities that lead to
the betterment of the institution, which would thereby help the students in their development
as well, in line with the current educational trends.
Some such facilities are: 36 digitalized class rooms with ICT, with content support from Tata
Class-Edge. Teachers are trained twice a year to use them very effectively and efficiently and to
integrate it in the Teaching-Learning process. During one such session Mr. Suresh from 'Tata
Class Edge’ spoke on enhancing the teacher's knowledge and on making class room teaching
more interesting. Teachers were also shown the new updated versions and how to access it
easily.
The newly refurbished science lab 'AVISHKAR' was inaugurated this year (2017) with more
than 100 working models from Butterfly Hands on Learning and TRIDENT. A workshop for
science teachers was conducted to train them on how to use these working models for the
optimal result. With these models children will get hands on experience to understand the
concepts of Science and Mathematics.
Every year workshops are conducted for teachers to keep them updated with the latest trends in
their fields of specialization.
Mrs. Jayashree Nair Mukerjee conducted a workshop for the teachers and led them through a
host of activities to reinforce the natural process of acquiring language. She emphasized the
importance of listening and speaking skills.
Mr. Bharadhwaj addressed the teachers on the topic, 'Learning based on Activities'. The
activities conducted were on the following topics: positive attitude, interactive learning,
student centered teaching and the characteristics of a good teacher.
A.P.J Abdul Kalam said, “Creativity is key to success in future, and primary education is
where teachers can bring creativity in children at that level.”
A workshop for Pre-Primary teachers by Ms. Sowmya Satish was conducted to introduce many
innovative activities which can be modified on the spot to make a kindergarten class a hub of
activity while catering to the social, emotional and physical development of the child.
Mr. M.B. Shiva Shankar Belliappa conducted a work shop on how to develop speaking and soft
skills. Through humour and interaction, he stressed the importance of soft skills for children.
Teachers are not only given in-house training they also attend workshops organized by other
organizations. Principal Ms. Veena S.A. attended a workshop conducted by Tata Class
Edge which was held for the leaders of affiliated schools.
Numerous activities are conducted throughout the year: Sports Day, Annual Day, Open Day,
F.K. Irani Tournament and Inter-House competitions. Students are encouraged to participate in
interschool competitions under the training and guidance of teachers.
Sufficient exposure is provided for the emotional and social development of the students.
They are motivated to acquire knowledge and set aims.
A Value Education and Life Skill Programme 'AWAKENED CITIZEN PROGRAMME' by Sri

concerns and well planned curriculum with remedial classes, tests, preparatory examinations, special
