Meda Ravi Chandra Sekhar - Founder's Message

M. R. C. Sekhar Quality education to all, especially for children in Rural places of Telangana, is our motto.

Children should be given due importance to their mood, ability and age. Instead there is a lot of commotion going around private costly education and government's free school education, parents high ambitions forcing on children, rat race to children in the name competition, too much of homeworks to retrace guides into notebooks and lot more burned is put on child than a child can handle. We believe that humans, so naturally children, inherently possess the ability to learn. Our aim is to enrich children's learning experiences by providing them with the necessary time, space, and environment to explore the world of education (Language, Logic) along with essential minimum learning abilities.

We focus on Quality Education in regions where it is needed and wherever it is ignored. Villages are running short of teachers, forget about skilled teachers. Poor parents are busy all day to earn their livelihood, rich farmers of this generation are busy increasing their assets, attention to essentail education to their child is ignored. While there are some private schools in the villages, though committed, they could not prepare themselves to catch up with changing education needs. All developments and innovations in different fields, including education, are focused only in urban area. Villages never caught up with urban trends of education and there is an increasing gap day by day. Man and Technology reached Mars but education could not reach villages. Therefore, the current necessity is to deliver quality education even to the most overlooked corners of the globe.

Challenges in our Mission

While there high aspirations, more positive and confident to transform rural child education, road to the path is rough and haunted with multitude of challenges.

  • One challenge is to educate and convince parents for need to get away from traditional methods of education.
  • Second challenge is that no one is prefering to be a teacher. Graduates in villages are very happy to do a labour work and its pay than being a teacher.
  • Third challenge is that the villages are less densily populated and transportation has become expensive, so overall cost of transportation is high than paying to teaches
    Villages being less densily populated regions and fees being very much bargained and under paid, revenue generated from fees is not meeting to pay the salaries of teachers, develop infrastrure and Government's sky-reaching standards and rock bottom reality giving opportunists to exploit situation from different sections.
  • These are some of many challenges that are standing in the way to our mission for Right to Quality Education to Rural Children.

    • Approach

    We have designed revolutionary methods of teaching not only to overcome the challenges but also to challenge traditional education methods. In the fast changing world, teaching fixed academic syllabus and forcing children to rote learning is not going to help children survive in their future.

    Here is our approach to impart education quality education that is tested and proven, reaping results.

    1. Langugage Development Skills
      1. Mother Tounge - Language. Allow sufficient time for a child to grasp the letters of their native language, assisting them in achieving proficiency in reading. Once they have attained fluency in the language, offer a diverse selection of age-appropriate storybooks and other literature to foster their interest and development.
      2. English English has become a global language, and it is undeniable that proficiency in English is crucial. We approach English education much like we do with native languages, teaching letters, phonetics, and fostering fluency in reading. We focus on expanding vocabulary and teaching proper reading techniques. Subsequently, we provide children with a wide array of age-appropriate storybooks. Once children are comfortable reading in their mother tongue, transitioning to English becomes smoother, aiding in comprehension. To develop speaking skills in English, provide tools to listen to English Langugage.

        In contrast to acquiring one's mother tongue, mastering a non-native language, English for current need, presents a challenge, as children may lack exposure to its spoken form. However, the foundation of speaking lies in listening; the capacity to articulate stems from attentive listening. Therefore, we provide tools that immerse children in native English audio as extensively as possible. Consequently, children develop spoken English proficiency akin to that of native speakers.
      3. Third language and other essential languages

        In Antharbodhi School, we are working on making a fantasy story a reality. Follow the story below, on how Saurya's journey to learn third and other essential languages became a testament to the boundless possibilities that await those who dare to explore the world beyond their own linguistic borders.

        In the heart of a remote and rural village nestled amidst rolling hills and lush greenery, there stood a quaint little community known as Rajugudem. Life in Rajugudem moved at a gentle pace, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. Here, time seemed to slow down, and the simple joys of nature and close-knit relationships were cherished above all else.

        Amidst the picturesque landscapes of Rajugudem lived a young girl named Saurya. With eyes as bright as the morning sun and a heart full of curiosity, Saurya roamed the meandering pathways of the village, eager to explore the wonders that lay beyond the horizon.

        In Rajugudem, where the whispers of the wind carried tales of generations past and the songs of birds filled the air with melody, Saurya's thirst for knowledge knew no bounds. Though the village was small and secluded, Saurya dreamed of venturing into the world beyond, where she could unravel the mysteries of distant lands and learn of languages spoken in faraway places.

        One day, while wandering through the village square, Saurya stumbled upon a weathered old book tucked away in a forgotten corner of the local library. As she brushed off the dust and flipped through its pages, she discovered a treasure trove of stories written in languages she had never encountered before. Fascinated by the unfamiliar words and exotic alphabets, Saurya's imagination took flight, and she vowed to unravel the secrets of these foreign tongues.

        With determination in her heart and a hunger for adventure, Saurya embarked on a journey to learn the languages of distant lands. Armed with nothing but her curiosity and the wisdom of the village elders, she immersed herself in the study of each language, delving into its history, its culture, and its unique nuances.

        As the seasons passed and the village of Rajugudem continued to thrive in its timeless tranquility, Saurya's knowledge and understanding of the world grew with each new language she mastered. With the support of her community and the resources available to her, Saurya not only mastered multiple languages but also became a bridge between cultures, bringing people together through the power of communication.

        And so, Saurya's journey to learn third and other essential languages became a testament to the boundless possibilities that await those who dare to explore the world beyond their own linguistic borders.

    2. Logical Skills Provide them logical skills. Give them time and worksheets to understand concepts of basic arthematic operations.
    3. Life Skills, Learn by doing Engage child in application of concepts learned in the class. Engage them in their daily chores. Give more time to practice life skills like public speaking etc,
    4. Focus on primary education, so that students and continue higher education in Government High schools. Because student is fully prepared to read, learn by self and get the ability to question difficult topics. There by overall cost of education to the family comes down drastically.
    5. We give least priority to class room teaching, rather we engage children to participate in dicussions help each other to understand the concepts. Teacher will facilitate student with required tools and fill the knowlege gaps
    All this happens under the regular supervision of experts from different fields in the industry. In that manner, prepare child ready for market and future as against disconnected studies of today's traditional education in rural India. Our AIM is to impart education that makes child far higher successful to urban, corporate and internnational schools education in most simplified form and format.

    Sri Vidhyanjali High School

    We adopted the concepts and idealogy of the school. Fundamentally concepts that we inherit from here are

    • No writing in early classes. Instead, engage child to strengthen the finger muscles that help them towrite.
    • Child develops vocabulary early in the age
    • Develop a social responsible citizen
    • Develop nature friendly habits, like avoid plastic, go green.
    • Teaching English with Phonetics

    Vandematharam Research Center

    Our idealogy is aligned with Vandematharam Research Center. We are resolved to adopt much of their years of research output, material and philosophy of child centric education and trying to implement as much as we can.
