Late Shri OP Jindal, former Member of Parliament, philanthropist, industrialist
of Haryana had a vision of a progressive state where men and women would be equal
to each other and in their equality lay the secret for the state's advancement.
The result of this vision was the birth of Vidya Devi Jindal School, a girls residential
school at Hisar in Haryana (India). It was the maiden venture of the Vidya Devi
Jindal Rural Development Trust established in 1981 by Shri OP Jindal. The school
became functional in July 1984 and was granted recognition by Central Board of Secondary
Education (CBSE), the same year.
The motto of the school is enshrined in the Sanskrit words Vidya Jyoti Jeevan Jyoti
which means 'the light of knowledge is the light of life'. All efforts are directed
towards the achievement of this objective considering that education is a social
vehicle, which must drive you to forge ahead and be a carriage for new ideas.
At VDJS, a Residential School for Girls, the medium of teaching is the English language.
The school provides education that nurtures the traditions of our culture and also
absorbs the finer influences of the west. It focuses on all round development of
personality and thorough education of girls in order to make them conscientious
and responsible citizens. More importantly, the school imparts the right values
and norms of behavior, thus helping the girl students enhance their confidence and
poise.
The school is set in restful and calm surroundings. The spacious campus boasts of
an imaginative and inventively constructed academic wing, a utility block, a large
auditorium, a health club, an infirmary, a dining hall with a seating capacity of
1000 students, an outdoor swimming pool, a roller skating rink and four hostels
to accommodate 800 students. Accommodation for all members of the school too is
provided on the campus itself.
At VDJS education is a great learning experience.
VDJS boarding schools exclusively for girls in Hisar focuses on all aspects of a
student's life. The student focuses on improvement and awareness in five areas:
emotional, mental, physical, social, and spiritual. All five areas are essential
to the success of the student. When a student takes the steps to develop into a
complete, well-rounded person she is on the "trail to success".
Students and staff work together to develop a unique blend. VDJS has a community
of warmth, respect, mutual cooperation, friendship, leadership, and love. The students
and the staff are truly a team.
Students have opportunities to develop leadership skills. Each student has the opportunity
of leading a community service project; developing budgeting skills; planning, preparing,
and serving a meal; planting a garden; developing a resume; building crafts, etc.
Taking part in skill building projects is an everyday occurrence.
Students discover who they are and learn to share themselves with the people they
come into contact with. Each student learns to confront the past and look forward
to the future by following a very proven "Trail to Success". This "Trail to Success"
leads each student to develop self-esteem, self-awareness, self-confidence, self-reliance
and self-management.
A model for learning and leadership development transforming character-building
life experience into a high level of self-knowledge, personal connection with the
world around them, and an excellent mentoring and educational experience.
