RSMV profile: An institution with enviable academic standard
About us: Ramakrishna Sarada Missionary School is a co-educational secondary school with excellent boarding facilities , affiliated to the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education. It is located amidst lush green surroundings on a sprawling campus at Purnanagar, about three km away from Ranaghat railway in the district of Nadia, West Bengal. The institution has emerged as a most preferred educational hub for hundreds of rural students due to its enviable academic standard and pollution-free environment.
Legacy lives on: Since the day one when an enterprising and dynamic Ganesh Chandra Modak took over the management of this school as its secretary from late Jibankrishna Karmakar in 1995, the institution has been providing quality education to the rural students from across Nadia, its neighbouring districts and some parts of Bangladesh in order to help them evolve into good human beings with an excellent academic profile. Students are also being made proficient in various co-curricular activities to ensure their overall development. All these endeavours taken together are a pointer to the fact that its invaluable legacy lives on till date.
Special care for poor students: Among a total of 220 boarders, more than 120 students are being looked after by us free of cost as they are considered poor. Since most of them are all single parent children from poor communities, special care is being taken to ensure their they must not lag behind and enjoy equal opportunity in their academic pursuit as that of those who are affluent and well-to-do. Ours is a home to them away from their own sweet home.
Grooming them young: Convinced that effective computer learning, personality development and proficiency in Spoken English are most needed these days for a student on the road to success in his or her chosen profession, special emphasis is being laid on each of them. Moreover, subjects related to hygiene are also being included in the curriculum.
Consistent good results of our students in Madhyamik exams since 2014: Since 2014 when the first batch of students from the school sat for Madhyamik (Secondary) Examinations, our students have not only been consistently doing well but also showing marked improvement in their academic performances over the years. This has made our institution as one of the best institution not only in Nadia district but all over the state of West Bengal also.
Our faculty members: Ours is an institution where teachers are considered role models of our students. Each and every teacher with his or her erudition and scholarly background is committed to ensure that each and every student must acquire academic excellence with integrity. Teachers also take special remedial classes for academically poor students, beyond their routine classes so as to help them compete with their other academically sound classmates.
School hostels: Keeping in mind that numerous day scholars are studying in our school, two separate well-furnished hostels are in place for both boys and girl students for their comfortable accommodation. They are feeling at home while staying in two hostels, totally segregated from each other. An existing four-storey boys’ hostel has been renovated where about 90 students could be accommodated.
School library & Yoga room: Convinced that a library is life blood of an educational institution, we have refurbished our existing library after shifting it to a bigger room where over 1000 books of various subjects, are preserved for our students. Besides, leading newspapers, journals, periodicals and rare study materials are on display in the library to help our students enhance their knowledge beyond narrow confines of class rooms. The library with its rich collection of books has these days become a favourite haunt of our students, who are very regular there, ignoring allures of internet and social media.
Computer LAB:A well-equipped science laboratory is a major attraction of our students. The laboratory has recently been refurbished with numerous modern-day equipment to make it more effective for our students. Besides, a modern-day computer centre caters to the need of our students, serving internet and social media for their academic purposes and research projects. As part of TLM, exclusive smart class rooms are being regularly held for easy understanding of text book lessons of our students.
Extra-curricular activities in school: Among our extra-curricular activities, regular sports activities on a sprawling ground adjoining the school building and , a well-equipped children’s park, merit mention. Other co-curricular activities include regular drawing classes by an expert teacher, lessons on music and dance by experts. Students are also being encouraged to participate in talent search examinations in which their performances are excellent.
Students’ initiative to hone their talents: In order to ensure that students must give wings to their creative thoughts and imagination in mode of writings, paintings and drawings, we have been publishing school souvenirs for the last three years in a row with a commitment to bring them out every year. A souvenir deserves to be a masterpiece, comprising writings, drawings and ;paintings of our students, teachers, academicians, alumni members and members of non-teaching staff.
Parent-teacher Association: RSMV stands out among many boarding schools in the area because of its uniqueness in maintaining a consistent bondage between parents and teachers for the well being of our students. Patents feel at ease to call on our teachers on designated dates to discuss academic and other related matters of their wards besides a monthly PTM. .
Look ahead: we seek to expand our activities for an all-inclusive development of our students in order to open up new vistas with numerous opportunities for them.
Our constraints: Paucity of adequate funds sometimes stands in way of fulfilling our commitments to our valued students. Although we are doing our best with our limited resources, CSR funds or any such fund would definitely be a prized possession for us at this juncture.
Mention must be must be about Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, Gol Park, that has donated nearly 500 old and new books of varied subjects to help us refurbish our school library. We are particularly grateful to RMIC secretary revered Swami Suparnanandaji Maharaj for taking his personal initiative in this regard.
