Many Children and a School for Life

In 1997, the organisation opened a primary school for children coming from the nearby community for the underprivileged. It happened over a period of time and several requests from the women who kept coming for the skill development programme at Nari Jagran Shakti, and kept requesting for a study room directed towards learning.

Since, there was no education system in place in the neighborhood and children seemed to be going nowhere, we decided to establish an education collective on the footsteps of the age old Gurukul Shiksha Method in sync with the much needed contemporary English medium education.

Brilliant Public School thus took shape into an endeavouring initiative, and it has been the only most important part of my growing up years. I learnt seeing my mother running, caring to build an education based community for woman and children motivated by the ideals of Rani Jhansi.

Later when i took to teaching while travelling in remote areas of my country, i was motivated as much to do and create such avenues for children in arts and education. Learning while teaching, travelling in these areas motivated and inspired me to continue and carry on the work of my mother.

In 2020, the school continues to work towards the upliftment of children coming to school from the community of underprivileged families like Vegetable sellers, Rickshaw pullers, nearby shop keepers also including families from modest backgrounds.

In last few years, we have tried to include arts, literature and ancient Indian methods to develop ones inner health and mind to meet the diverse educational need of the Capital and our country.

Hundreds of children who have gone through our school, and we are proud to announce it, have come back and involved themselves in more ways than one in day to day life at school. Helping younger generation developing them as debaters, organisers and artists.

I grew up here. I grew up seeing growth happening each and everyday. It was a study in itself. A life long learning. I attribute my everything to this education system that was founded in my own home.

Anyone who in coming weeks, months or years comes across this post, must know that we are always on a look out for someone who is happy and wants to share a bit of his/her joy with children and women. Ones who are carrying colors, words, artists, illustrations, designs, Photographs, films, theatre plays and the ones in academics are wholeheartedly welcome. They must come and teach to learn; to share with the ones who in years coming should be the ones passing on.

Hence said, there are few aims that our school work towards

1. World is a family, and thus to respect friends, elderly and animals equally.

2. Being a small school, we look after children personally and during the process we make sure to awaken a few basic tendencies in them like questioning rationally on actions in regards with the betterment and upliftment of society they are a part of.

We show monthly films, call theatre friends to spare sometime to give them invaluable life lessons on storytelling skills on stage and otherwise.

In years coming we would like to continue educating, moreover transform our learning methods focusing on all round development of a student.

Brilliant Public School was founded in 1997 with around eight children on the first day.

Hi, I am Narayan Kaudinya. And i welcome you on this journey, the Road to Nara ! I am an Ethnographer and a practicing Indologist. I did my masters in History and further learnt Sanskrit, Yoga and Nerve-therapy. At 24, pushing most academic sounding, office sitting works away, i felt compelled to know and understand the world and my country, Bharat/India. I travelled, and as it happened i took up teaching in Kashmir and further up in the remote villages of Baltistan in the foothills of Karakoram Ranges. For around three years and many states later there came a time when i felt that it was only while teaching i learnt how to laugh, to see, feel, breathe, love and cry -with children, and mostly resource-less parents in the harshest-freezing border conditions. I write, and work as a documentary photographer and Filmmaker, with numerous published, exhibited and some awarded stories. In my travels and life i have let nature lead me, the divine mother, and as a Yogin, my resolve here is to share my experiences and thoughts as honestly, and through them to blossom in everyone the power and possibility in pursuing your breath, that you seek your true nature with courage and curiosity. Here, on this road i will share my spirit, my love for nature, the elements of life that are us. And in doing so, i'll be happy to see you along.
