Fatehabad govt school a lesson in quality education

A government school in Bhuna of Fatehabad district is making headlines for achieving excellence in infrastructure, academics and innovation, outperforming many private schools in the region.

Government Model Sanskriti Senior Secondary School, Bhuna, has been awarded twice under the Chief Minister’s Beautification Scheme, at both block and district levels.

Principal Naresh Kumar Sharma said the school had transformed significantly in recent years, not only in appearance but also in learning outcomes.

“We wanted to create a space where students feel proud, safe and inspired. Cleanliness, order and a sense of pride in the nation are part of daily life here,” Sharma said. The school campus is clean, well-organised, and features direction signboards for easy navigation.

A major attraction is the newly created Warrior Gallery, which showcases all 21 Param Vir Chakra awardees along with their photographs, names and motivational life stories. Local martyrs’ contributions are also highlighted here to encourage patriotism among students.

Sharma said the school housed several modern facilities, including a digital library, computer lab, home science lab, maths and science labs, PCA, physical education spaces and a special IED lab for differently abled students.

“We are proud to offer a 5-acre green field where students engage in sports and outdoor activities regularly,” he added.

A major highlight of the school is the state’s only math park, where students use physical models to understand complex mathematical concepts.

“This hands-on approach helps eliminate the fear of mathematics,” Sharma said.

The school also houses a STEM lab, supported by the Haryana Government, where students learn artificial intelligence and digital skills.

Additionally, with support from the Government of India, the school has established a ‘Yajurveda Shala’, where science students explore astronomy.

“We are combining ancient knowledge with modern science,” said Sharma.

Each classroom is equipped with digital blackboards, and students regularly participate in national and international competitions.

The school is under 24/7 surveillance with 48 CCTV cameras, and houses a rainwater harvesting system with underground drainage to ensure water conservation.

The school also focuses on holistic development through its National Service Scheme (NSS) unit.

“Our students go into the community and raise awareness on social issues,” Sharma said.

Clubs like the legal literacy club, scouts and guides, eco club, and the ‘buniyaad’ centre also play a strong role in students’ growth.

Sharma attributed the school’s progress to the dedicated efforts of teachers and other staff.

Among those he mentioned were Jiyalal Bansal, Rajkumar Suthar, Vikas Jain, Dr Jaybhagwan, Ramesh Chandra, Ashok Kumar, Vijay Nagpal, Kuldeep Sharma, Ved Prakash, Ritu Sharma, Kusum Bhukkal, Maya Kharoliya, Sunil Sharma, Navneet Kaur, Beenu Bishnoi, Sangeeta Kamboj, Pooja Rani, Suman, Satbir Singh, Rajendra Singh and Praveen Kumar.

He also thanked the School Management Committee for its constant support.

“We believe in giving our students not just education, but also values, confidence and a sense of national pride,” the Principal said.
