    Akshara is special and unique as it acknowledges the contribution of its teachers, supports them in their growth, motivates them to scale newer heights, but most importantly, respects and treasures them as part of an extended family. I joined Akshara as a passionate Chemistry teacher in 2013 and the institute gave me numerous opportunities to show case my talents and accept new challenges with greater competence and vigour. Akshara is a student’s haven’, where the Management and the teachers collaborate for the greater good of the school and the students. A student who joins Akshara may be Helium, an inert element, but will get metamorphosed into Caesium, the most reactive element – willing to take initiatives and endeavouring to accomplish them to perfection.

My intention  lies in making  empowered students ,who are confident to understand the market world , express an opinion in a considerate manner substantiated with facts.

    As a pre- primary teacher, my focus is to help each child blossom by building his self-confidence along with social, emotional and physical development, not just through core education, but also through skill development.

    We focus on overall development of each child taking his individual capabilities and growth level into consideration. We introduce him to a learning activity only when we feel he is ready for it and give him space to grow. We believe in making learning fun for each child.
