We are overwhelmed with the news that Nirmal
Bhartia is ranked India #1 for extraordinary leader-
“ship. We strongly believe that the power of com-
munity flows through a shared vision of leadership and
dedicate this award to our school community. Adhering
to the credo that true leadership is about nurturing lead-
ership potential in others, we make all efforts to nurture
leadership qualities in our teachers and students. Some of
our leadership programmes for teachers include ‘Explor-
ing New Horizons’, ‘Pursuing Your Passion’ and ‘Teacher
Champions’ and for students, ‘Together We Can’, ‘Voice
of Art’ and SMILE programmes.” — Charu Wahi, Prin-
cipal, Nirmal Bhartia School, Delhi (1,100 students
I attribute this award to years of unwavering commit- and 110 teachers)
ment to provide students holistic STEAM education
“and nurture innovators, critical thinkers, future
leaders and problem solvers. One of our key initiatives is
integration of the Creya STEM Learning programme with
the curriculum, which provides a structured framework
for hands-on, project-based learning. All our teachers
are trained by Creya to connect classroom concepts with
real-world problems and encourage children to learn by
doing. We have allocated two classroom periods per week
for STEAM education with children encouraged to display
their projects during events.”— Meena Reddy, Vice
Principal, Vidyanjali Academy for Learning, Benga-
luru (670 students and 50 teachers)
