Quality Education and all around development through implementation of NEST methodologies
Description/achievement of initiative

NEST methodologies stand for Nature, Environment, Science and Technology based Education. The four pillars of this methodology bring new dimension of learning and development for students and new skill development for teachers. The main focus is on practical classes with outdoor venture where teachers and students jointly explore first hand experience of Nature and Environment like practical classes in field, farming tours, botanical gardens visits etc. The exposure of nature and its fragile environment is coupled with use of Science and latest technology. It strives to make balances between theoretical classes and practical exercises.

Implementation methodologies

The NEST Methodologies will be inducted in current curriculum in such a way that it works as value additions and new experience for students and Teachers as well. “The goal of NEST is to learn from nature so that we can preserve our environment for future generations. The approach will be based on the principles of modern science and technology will be the fulcrum of communication between our modern lives and the environment at large."Specific activities and workshop will be conducted to ensure complete exposure of students to new dimensions of NEST.Few of activites to be undertaken will be 1. Junior students shall be encouraged and will be part of our “reach the unreach” programme where they will undertake trips to some backward village and impart special education on specific subjects of public welfare and health.2. “leadership Acceleration” from a young age each student will be assigned groups of young people from neighborhood locations and will be assigned to carry out specific social welfare tasks. This is to ensure that leadership skills are ingrained at a practical level from a young age.3. “cycle of innovation” current day challenges will be highlighted and groups will be formed where the target is to provide innovative solutions to the challenge which is implementable. This will enable our students the principles of teamwork early in life coupled with ability to think out of box.”
