“Learning is a lifetime process, but there comes a time when we must stop adding and start updating.”
At Atmiya Vidya Mandir we believe that learning is not confined up to the students. We are keen to upgrade and empower the teachers with the guidance of able educationists and efficient faculties, hence a teacher’s training programme and workshop was conducted in the first week of June. The Principal of D.P.S. Harni (Vadodara), Mr.A.K.Sinha, who has been in the education field since last three decades with an excellent track record, addressed the training session. Under his guidance and from his expertise, teachers received a wonderful insight into teaching. He shared his experiences with teachers to prepare them for a better assistance to the students in the learning process. He visits the school very frequently on a fortnight basis to update and enhance the teaching skills of teachers.
In today’s fast growing world change is inevitable and Atmiya Vidya Mandir is always open for changes and development. For example, we have welcomed CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Assessment) as the basis of student’s holistic development. In order to implement it successfully in the school, a detailed discussion and presentation was organized during the training sessions.
This month offered many reasons to celebrate and among them, most remarkable was performance of grade X students in the CBSE board exams. The very first batch of X Std has passed the exams with flying colours. Out of 24 students who appeared in the exam, 13 students scored above 9 CGPA (Cumulative Grade Per Assessment) and Sarthakbhai Jariwala showed outstanding performance by getting 10 CGPA out of 10 CGPA. Manthvya Patel remained on the edge by scoring 9.8 CGPA. A felicitation programme was held to celebrate this glittering success of all students of X Std.
As Atmiya Family is growing day by day, a new and spacious dining hall was added to meet the demands of the increased strength of the school which is about 520 students this year. It was inaugurated by performing a “Mahapuja” by the saints from Haridham.
In order to develop a sense of social responsibility as well as leadership qualities in students, first time ever, a very comprehensive student-council was formed for which the first round of election was organized. Students cast their valuable vote through electronic voting system to elect candidates for three posts. Out of the nominees from IX and XI Std Sarthakbhai Jariwala from XI (Science) bagged maximum votes for the post of Head Boy and Yashbhai Pachhigar from IX Std was elected for the post of Vice Head Boy. Vikasbhai Patel from IX received maximum votes for the post of Sports Captain.
A welcome party was arranged to cheer the newcomers and for ice-breaking. The welcome party proved to be a fun-filled get-to-gather for all the students. All of them enjoyed the party, a marvelous cultural programme was presented by students of IX and XI std. It was a nice opportunity for all the new students to get along with one another and be a part of Atmiya Vidya Mandir family.
It is rightly said that “learning does not happen in classroom” therefore, in the second last week of the month, Students of grade I, II and III went to amusement park to have fun and frolic. The tiny-tots had unbounded joy with their teachers and Didis in this trip. Students of grade VI,VII and VIII went for a field trip to Kim where they visited textile factory and power looms. It was a very good learning experience for them as they got an opportunity to closely observe the procedure of weaving of thousand of threads altogether to make fabric. Yet another happening in Atmiya Vidya Mandir was a feast arranged by students of grade XI to thank their teachers for their benign support and constant penance.
For the month of June and July, we are celebrating “Towards Atmiyata through Respect, Discipline, and Unity” as the values of the month. During the morning and the evening assemblies, through different thoughts, dramas, speeches and stories, students are inspired to practice these values in their day to day life.
Towards the end of this month, both academic and co-curricular activities are on full swing due to the sincere and joint efforts of teachers, students and hostel staff to reach the destination of achieving a better tomorrow.
Wish u a fantastic month ahead. For detailed updates kindly, visit the school blog at (blog.avm.edu.in).
Warm regards,
Atmiya Family

It has been a dream for the Founder of the Atmiya Vidya Mandir: H.D.H. Hariprasad Swamiji Maharaj that there be an environment of keen competition and yet true sportsmanship in the school. One could easily witness that dream manifest during the inter-house table tennis competition that took place on the 9-10 July 2010 at Atmiya Vidya Mandir.
The cheering and backing up of the fellow housemates, the anxious shouts of the house teachers, the disappointments due to some bad shots and the excitement due to some shots by the players and overall a very high-energy, thrilling, suspense-packed competition was witnessed in the table tennis court in the basement of the Admin building.
This was the second inter-house competition of the year and turned out to be an awesome clash of the titans, literally!
Satyam House turned out to be the overall winners including both the Junior (Classes 6-7) as well as the Senior (Classes 8-9-10-11) categories.
Jilbhai Patel of Class 7 and Harshbhai Sarda of Class 8 were the champions in the respective categories.
Sundaram House were the runner-up in the competition followed by the Shivam House at the third place and Suhradam House at fourth.
Having said that, actually it was Excellence and the Courage of all the students that won the competition…..and we look forward to many such victories.
Atmiya Family lives a life that never gets tired to enjoy!
Besides rigorous study schedule, with a harmonious mix of variant creed Atmiya Family has always a reason to celebrate; all the festivals have retained their uniqueness as they are celebrated here with deep fervour. Most of the celebrations are woven around religious occasions.
The whole of Atmiya Vidya Mandir sprang up with joy as uproarious festivity proposes many mood of merriment. To begin with the festive season, it was the time to celebrate Rathyatra: the festival which is unique in a way that it beckons an interesting blend of east and the west. The festival marks the return of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra to their home Vrindavan after a long gap. According to puranas, Jagannath is the reincarnation of Lord Krishna.
A big chariot was arranged by the hostel staff for the procession of these deities and students adorn the chariot with flowers. In the chariot, they kept the clay images of Jagannath, his brother Balaram and sister Subhadra.
The saints from Haridham did pujan of Thakorji and the deities. They also accompanied the chariots along with the students. Devotional songs were played and procession moved throughout the school premises with the sound of drums, tambourines, trumpets etc.. They pulled the holy chariot paving their way through the school premises by singing, dancing, and distributing packets of prasadam.
Though students enjoyed a lot but they also understood that all the festivals have some profound meaning in it and they have some pragmatic purpose as well.

/0 Comments/in Hindi Poetry, Prayer /by AVM Teachersप्रभु के चक्षु से बहता पानी
आज प्रभु के चक्षु से बह रहा था पानी।
जैसे, बह रहा हो झरना, सुना रहा हो कहानी।।
प्रभु की सर्जित दुनिया में –
आज मनुष्य द्वारा मनुष्य की हो रही थी निलामी।
जैसे आग का दरिया और समुद्र का खारा पानी।।
आज प्रभु के चक्षु से…
प्रेम से सँवारकर प्रभु ने मनुष्य की मूरत बनाई।
मूल्यों से सजाकर उसने हम से लीला करवाई।।
खुश हुआ प्रभु , हाँ…… खुश हुआ प्रभु ।
जब मनुष्य ने आत्मीयता की अलख जगाई।।
अरे! आज क्या हुआ मनुज को –
अरे! आज क्या हुआ मनुज को –
जो उसने अपनों की ही खिल्ली उड़ाई।।
आज प्रभु के चक्षु से…
मनुष्य ही मनुष्य का कर रहा था अनादर।
नफ़रत की सभी ने ओढ़ ली थी चादर।।
जिस धर्म ने सभी को जुड़ना सिखाया।
उसी धर्म के वास्ते, हाँ, आज उसी धर्म के वास्ते,
सभी मनुष्यों ने एक-दूजे का खून बहाया।
अतः प्रभु ने सभी को अपने आँसू से नहलाया।।
इसलिए…
आज प्रभु के चक्षु से बह रहा था पानी।
जैसे, बह रहा हो झरना, सुना रहा हो कहानी।।

जीवन रूपी बगिया का माली – प्रभु !…
/0 Comments/in Poetry, Prayer /by AVM Teachersहे प्रभु !…
यह जीवन एक बगिया और तुम हो माली।
हम सब की डोर तुमने ही सँभाली।
जब कभी मुसीबतों की आँधी आई,
मेरी झुकती हुई डाली, तुमने ही सहलाई।।
जीवन रूपी बगिया में,
वात्सल्य की फुहार बहाकर,
प्रेमरूपी वर्षा का पानी बरसाकर।
हे प्रभु! तुमने यह पुष्प का चमन तो खिलाया।
मगर साथ में काँटों का सरताज क्यों पहनाया।।
फूलों की खुशबू से जीवन हुआ खुशहाल,
पर काँटों की चुभन ने तो, जीना किया दुशवार।।
हे प्रभु! अब तू ही बता अपना यह हाल मैं किसे सुनाउँ!
तेरे सिवा न किसी ओर को अपने इर्द-गिर्द पाऊँ।।
काँटों की चुभन को तू सहना सीखा दे।
इसकी चुभन सहकर भी खुश रहना सीखा दे।
सीखा दे वह सब कुछ जो कुछ तू हमसे चाहता।।
हे प्रभु! जीवन रूपी बगिया का जब तू माली बन बैठा,
तो अब जीवन के दुख-दर्द से हमारा क्या वासता।
हे प्रभु ! हे प्रभु ! हे प्रभु ! ….
