‘Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire’ – William Butler Yeats I feel extremely happy to be the Principal of this Vidyalaya. I take it as a privilege to extend my service to this KV at this critical pandemic juncture where only online classes are being conducted. Many children from rural India get trained to be spiritually disposed, morally good, emotionally well- balanced, physically healthy and intellectually sharp. I expect the parents to understand that their wards are going to learn in a distinctive academic programme oriented Vidyalaya, full of innovative teaching methodologies. All this is meant to empower them physically, intellectually and resourcefully. Teachers in KV are not only the content mentors but also they are the concept mentors as they meticulously follow the objectives of KVS to make the students realize their unique innate potential. KVS believes in blending literacy with values to create good citizens for the future generation. Once the students step in, you will realize that they have started developing their personality in all aspects. School administrators, teachers, parents and students together can improve the quality of education in our country. Let us all work together to ensure KV ITBP, Idayapatti will be one among the top ranking institutions in Chennai Region.
