Why Mrs. Sumitra Mitter is far more than just academic learning

On a regular day at Arun Nursery School, when Mrs. Sumitra Mitter was interacting with the parents, she came across an orthodox belief. The belief that every child must perform well in academics and if they don’t do so they wouldn’t be able to build a successful life! After listening to this, she once again realized how deeply this problem is ingrained in Indian society.

 

Well, the education structure and pattern of the students are like a pressure cooker system- enforces so much pressure on excelling only in academics. There are very few parents or teachers who consciously think about the overall development of the child. This does not just include academics but even extracurricular activities, spiritual learning, cultural activities, theme learning, and so on.

 

Ever since then, Mrs Sumitra Mitter ans credibility has been taking long strides to fill this gap. Yes, that’s true! She has truly taken up the challenge to make a difference. She is dedicated to explore the unexplored aspects of teaching and make it as creative a possible. She has ensured to start with some major steps as her position of a principal which are enlisted below:

Love to Learn

Have you ever seen small kids crying to just learn a few sets of multiplication tables? Have you ever noticed that kids are doing their homework just for the sake of doing so? Or have you noticed kids giving petty excuses and reasons to simply skip school?

 

Well, this is one of the most scenarios. However, this is not the case with Arun Nursery School under the guidance of Sumitra Mitter. The mission, vision, and motto of the institute are to make learning fun. The ultimate result should be that the children should “love to learn” rather than ‘crib to learn’. At ArunNursery School, efforts are made to make the learning process as exciting and fun as possible.

 

Spiritual Learning

Adapting to spiritual learning at a tender age is so much simpler than adapting to it after a certain age. It is extremely easy to grasp things at a small age. Not only this but the spiritual growth of an individual is extremely important.

 

Because of the principal Sumitra Mitter and the overall teaching staff, they have introduced the effort for teaching spirituality to the children. This will thereby help to gain wisdom and harmony at a very young age. Believe it or not, but Sumitra Mitter has beautifully nurtured thousands of child’s subconscious minds and her legacy will surely keep on. She as a leader has made them realize the moral values of living a life and so much more.

Sensitivity to the Environment

Environmental education is not just another subject in the books of the students here. You would be surprised to know that children actually practice it. Wondering how?

 

Well, they have a plantation session for the kids. With time, they learn to take care of plants and to be sensitive towards them. This important practice or habit will surely make them responsible citizens of our country. Also, habits cultivated at such a tender age always prove to be extremely helpful in life.

 

Such is the practicality and vision of the teachers and principal at school. Thus it would be totally correct to conclude that Sumitra Mitter's background is not just restricted to academic learning. She has indeed broadened the horizons of learning. Not only this, but she has made learning and children the best of the best friends with her noble practices. Hence, it is no surprise that Sumitra Mitter has been a source of inspiration and been a role model for thousands of people, who’s lives she’s changed.
