Student Council 2013-14

Real leadership is not about prestige, power and status. It is about responsibility.

School is a basic platform to initiate the ability to become a responsible citizen of the nation. The concept of integrity and unity are taught by grouping students together on an equal ground of election.

In Atmiya Vidya Mandir, the students are given a platform to experience the realities and joy of outer world by giving hands-on experience. They are nurtured with many social, cultural and spiritual values. To experiencethis very important process first-hand, the Student Council has been set up wherein students can show their active participation by recognizing their duty towards school, friends, teachers and further, in future, to the nation. As a result, every child got an opportunity to use his wisdom to elect his leader.

Students are the hope for the bright future of any nation. Moulding students of today as a better citizen for tomorrow was the sole motto of the event.

As educated by P.P.Swamiji, three main qualities that a leader should possess are to be polite, stable and Atmiya. Leaders are not born, sometimes they need to be moulded. Such a place is AVM where students strive to fly like a leader still try to remain grounded.

Atmiya Vidya Mandir witnessed its fourth student council election in the second week of the academic year 2013-14.
