HOLISTIC VISION PROGRAMME (HVP)
The philosophy of Sucheta Memorial School (Managed by Sucheta Memorial Trust, Regd.) pivots around a noble cause – the betterment of humanity. This has been translated into action through its Holistic Vision Programme (HVP), which is a comprehensible educational programme that integrates the best in our culture and philosophy with academic education.
HVP concretises Pujya Swami Chinmayananda’s vision of education. It aims at giving the future citizens of India a true vision of life to help them face challenges in a positive and dynamic manner and heartily contribute to society. Here, “the child” is the focal point of this programme, which also embraces the school management, teachers and parents. Through all these channels, the light of this vision spreads to the society, nation, and the world at large
Holistic Vision Programme HVP can be identified under 4 headings:
- Integrated Development
- Indian Culture
- Patriotism
- Universal Outlook
The Holistic Vision Programme concretises Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda’s vision of education. It also takes into consideration the guiding educational thoughts and philosophies of eminent educationists like Sri Aurobindo, The Mother, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan and Mahatma Gandhi.
HOLISTIC VISION PROGRAMME (HVP)
I. INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT
It aims at the overall unfoldment and gentle blossoming of the student at the physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual levels of his/her personality.
a) PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT
It implies good health and proper growth of students leading to the optimum expression of their overall well-being. It includes physical fitness, nutrition, hygiene, personal grooming, health education, health assessment, prevention of diseases and their treatment.
b) EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
It aims at making the student an emotionally balanced person. It thereby helps him/her to live in harmony with himself/herself and the world.
It includes emotional expansion, handling emotions, handling relationships, gender specific education, mental health assessment and counseling
c) INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT
Man has infinite intellectual potential. Under this head, HVP helps the student manifest his/her inherent intellectual capacities and enhance existing ones. It includes intellectual kindling, independent thinking, management skills, aesthetics, creativity, intellectual assessment and guidance.
d) EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Man is potentially divine. Spiritual Development enables the child to discover his/her inherent divinity and manifest it. is achieved through value education, value based education, philosophy, introspection, meditation techniques, yoga etc.
II. INDIAN CULTURE
Culture is more than just art forms, festivals and rituals. Culture is the very way of life of a race and its thinking, which makes it unique and special. Under this head, the student is given a wide exposure to the various aspects of our culture, cultural awareness and appreciation of vast literacy, artistic and scientific heritage of India, explanations of customs and traditions and cultural motivation through hobbies and projects.
III. PATRIOTISM
This vital area of focus includes education in citizenship, civic consciousness, fostering pride in
being Indian and vital national concerns such as unity in diversity. It aims at creating dedicated and committed citizens who take real pride in serving the nation.
IV. UNIVERSAL OUTLOOK
Universal Outlook refers to instilling in children the concept of “Vasudaiva Kudumbakam“ i.e. One world One Family. Such an outlook helps the child view himself/herself as a responsible citizen of world (including world issues), live in harmony with creation (environmental education and the synthesis between science and religion) as well as become aware of being an intrinsic part of the macrocosm.
HVP is not an activity but a vision-inducing programme – the very spirit behind all activities in the Vidyalaya. It is not a ‘value add’, but the Vidyalaya culture. It is not portion-based, but attitude-based.
“This nobility in your heart must shine out in your actions, in your conduct, in your work.” -Swami Chinmayananda
