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 neighbourhood 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 and some where Mother Teresa.

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.

Today, in 2022, 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, as I too have grown; 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 carry colours, words, are artists, storytellers, illustrators, designers, Photographers, filmmakers, theatre actors, in academics or in any field who to share their time with us, 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 the society and in regards for the betterment and upliftment of ones community, neighbourhood 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 1998 with eight children on the first day.

Today Our small building is not enough to contain the growing number of children. And often talk about getting a bigger place somewhere. It is a continuous complaint that we receive from parents that how they wish the school had more classes till Secondary education.

But this is all there is. Whatever my Parents, I and perhaps only my Mother has done is to construct this Education Community one day at a time. And even though I grew up amongst all this, sometimes it is hard to believe even for me that my parents once lived in a village. I was born here. And it was from here the journey started. And it continues.

With so many queries that keep arriving on my mail for all kinds of support, help and even visiting queries has been overwhelming.

Children are like Gods. We all have so much to learn from them than they learn from us. Curiosity. The ability to question and decipher for themselves. The better we can provide, the better they will give back; to the society, country for a better world. And it is today that they need to be the best in mind, body and spirit to be ready for this new world order.

I whole heartedly appreciate whoever has reached out and I thank you in Gratitude.
