Madhusthali Vidyapeeth, Madhupur

Madhusthali took birth amidst nature, and grew up to spread its own branches to offer shade to the saplings who can grow and freely stretch their wings. Madhusthali Vidyapeeth was founded in 1997 by Madhusthali Vidyapeeth Trust administered by the trustees of the reputed and renowned MCKV Group running educational institutions like M. C. Kejriwal Vidyapeeth and MCKV Institute of Engineering, Kolkata. The school is a co-ed residential school affiliated to the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination, New Delhi.

We, at Madhusthali, endeavour to attain this. We pluck the children young and with our pupil centric atmosphere, we apply student friendly techniques. We work on their personality traits in a manner that helps inculcate in them the right attitude towards life, which includes their academic sphere and their personal life. What is the very purpose of school education? Is it limited to helping students achieve that very important number to get into University? If so, why is it that all the most meritorious students are not necessarily the most successful in life? Who should one benchmark with? Having visited some great schools in India, one day it struck that these fabulous institutions were built decades and centuries ago. If one were to set up a forward looking institution, should one look into the past or peep into the future? In today’s world, where one cannot even imagine the kind of professions and businesses that will exist twenty years from now, the whole pedagogical approach for education should shift from ‘teaching’ based to ‘learning’ based, so as to prepare ‘life-long learners’. A good teacher is no more the one who has answers to all the questions students ask, but the one who ignites students to ask such questions of which even s/he does not have the answers.
