To train young minds and give them a voice CBSE has organized, ‘The Adolescent Peer Educators Leadership Programme’ as CBSE believes that young educators are the empowering citizens of tomorrow and they can play a participatory role in creating an inclusive environment in schools.

Sarvanksh Vidya Mandir has always believed in the motto of BE MORE by providing an inclusive and enriching context and framework for learners and the staff where problems are solved efficiently and relationships are managed effectively.

Yasha Amol Pawar and Mohammed Shaaz Mohsin Wadkar from Grade 10 attended the enriching and interactive training sessions.

Principal Ma’am, Ms Monica felicitated the Well-being Ambassadors with certificates.

We are confident that the Well-being Ambassadors will continue to inculcate the importance of life skills in young minds and help in the creation of a more reflective and thoughtful environment.

The recent past saw India celebrate 75 years of Independence, aptly titled by the Ministry Of Culture as "Azadi Ka AmritMahotsav". In keeping with the same, CBSE rolled out a number of various activities and contests during the period of the pandemic which was obviously online, given the nature of things; the era of Covid-19. One such contest pertained to an original composition/ song, the subject of which was "Desh-bhakti". SVM's entry came in the form of a straight-from-the heart song written in a poetic style and delivered in the genre of RAP. The author of this tribute to the #Motherland was none other than Mst. Jai Jain who at that time was in Grade 7. Jai is persistent by nature and has an unfettered outlook towards life. This attitude makes him who he is, a strong individual who follows his heart and runs after his dreams. The song written by Jai secured the second position at the district level, earning him a monetary award from the Ministry of Culture. We extend our heartiest wishes to Jai on his achievement and hope that he keeps upping his game and continues to shine, always.

With the advent of the dotcom revolution, the world entered a whole new era. Written records became a thing of the past and many important facilities were computerized. Soon enough, computer education became an integral part of education and today, it is an inseparable portion of the academic curriculum. AT SVM, computer education (ICT) begins at the grass-root level right from Grade 1 and continues until a child completes his/ her academic obligations. In a recently held #ICT contest conducted by Bartakke Institute of #IT in the premises of a nearby school (GGPS), as many as 90 learners from SVM participated; from which, the top 10 positions were proudly held by SVM'ites, namely (in random order) - Mst. Anvay Gogate, Mst. Rudra Pilankar, Mst. Kartik Dewal, Ms. Sejal Pednekar, Ms. Yasha Pawar, Mst. Aayush Borkar, Mst. Parth Sawant, Ms. Shravani Waingankar, Mst. Harsh Mayekar and Ms. Inshrah Kazi. Our heartiest congratulations to the learners that participated and their parents as well.

While we stress upon the holistic growth of children at SVM, we also ensure the well-being of our teaching and non-teaching staff; promoting our in-house talent comes naturally. Having said this, we shift the focus here to our Art facilitator Ms. Kamal, who along with being an amazing art professional is also a passionate wrestler. Over this past weekend Ms. Kamal participated in a district level contest, snatching the gold in the 62kg category and proudly donning the colours of SVM at the podium. She has thus qualified for the State-level competition scheduled later this year and will be competing for the title of Maharashtra Kesari (women's senior division). We wish our soft-spoken, iron-shouldered Kamal the very best going forward.

We are also proud to mention the laurels achieved by another SVM’ite, Ms. Gauri Vilankar of Gr. 8 in the field of Taekwondo. Participating in an open state contest held in Mumbai, Gauri trounced every opponent on her way to gold. Incidentally, Gauri has won many such contests within and out of Ratnagiri. Gauri’s quiet demeanour off the “fight-mat” is highly applaudable, in stark contrast of being an unbeatable force when she dons her “dobok”. Her strong-will and determination is heavily backed by the intervention of her parents who continue to fuel her interest via constant encouragement and support. We extend our wishes to Gauri and the Vilankar family for raising a soft-spoken fighter who is surely going places in times to come.

Apart from the more famous sports like cricket, football, hockey, track and field events, there are some amongst us whose interests are piqued by lesser marketed sporting options. As we say this, we are pointing towards “roller skating”. It gives us immense pleasure acknowledging the talents of a few SVM’ites who are avid roller skaters, in particular Mst. Viraj Koli of Gr. 4 who is currently basking in the glory of a gold medal, bagged at a District-level roller-skating competition. The most amazing part of Viraj’s victory is that he has struck gold in the U-11 category, while he is just 9 years of age. We wish that his skills ever grow and that his talent is recognized at the highest levels.

Zain Mulla of Gr. 1, Ms. Veda Kale of Gr. 7 and Ms. Shreshtha Vilankar of Gr. 10. We believe that it is such laurels that encourage children to pursue their interests and further hone their abilities. We at SVM make sure to motivate our learners to participate in various activities/ events held at School and outside as well.

Held in distant #Dervan, at the local Krida Sankul, the boys U-17 football team of #SVM recently participated in India's oldest and long-standing football contests, the Subroto Mukherjee Football #Tournament. The postponing of the matches due to the incessant rains last week gave our boys an opportunity to train harder and finally on August 2, 2023 they had two back to back duels with T. P. Shetye Junior College, #Lanja followed by Abhyankar Kulkarni Junior College affiliated to Ratnagiri's Gogate College. The former was a battle of sorts with the decider coming in the form of a penalty shootout. A line of saves by our #goalkeeper, Mst. Rudra Todankar and a barrage of converts by Mst. Tanishq Jagushte, Mst. Yuvraj Mayekar and Mst. Rudra Pawaskar sealed the game in our favour. The second match however, proved to be a bone of contention for either side, going goal-less until a last minute conversion by Abhyankar Kulkarni Junior College, dashing our hopes to make it to the semis. On the bright side, our boys returned enlighted and slightly experienced, ready to put in further effort and represent SVM at other such tournaments. Here are the names of the members of our football #team of whom we are extremely proud.

Mst. Aryan Morye, Mst. Tanishq Jagushte, Mst. Rudra Pawaskar, Mst. Rudra Todankar, Mst. Rhugved Sawant, Mst. Jay Gundecha, Mst. Mahir Kedari, Mst. Yuvraj Mayekar, Mst. Anvay Gogate, Mst. Sudhanva Nivalkar, Mst. Chinmay Parkar, Mst. Neev Jain, Mst. Sharvil Shinde, Mst. Vihaan Waikul, Mst. Siddhant Marathe

It gives us immense pleasure to share that we have once again Sustained and Claimed First Rank in Ratnagiri’s Co-Ed schools as rated by Education World Ranking 22-23.

I would like to thank each of our stakeholders for their undaunted support and being the part of SVM Journey as we move forward to attain our vision and mission to ‘Be more’.

There is a saying in chess; "When you see a good move, look for a better one". This is to bring to light the exploits of one of SVM's chess champs, Ms. Aarya Karkare who recently won laurels for us at a district level chess tournament organized by Podar International School, Ratnagiri. Aarya participated in the U-12 category and went through four gruelling rounds on the way to the final where she bagged the 2nd place in the championship. She has not only made us proud but also stands as a figure of inspiration to her fellow mates at school. We extend our heartiest wishes to Aarya and her family on her achievement.

In a series of recent events, the ALLATRA International Public Movement organized a virtual round table on their YouTube channel called ALLATRA TV. For starters, AIPM is an association of millions of people world-over that use their talents and qualities for the benefit of society. The vision is to unite all nations in friendship on the basis of cultural, moral as well as spiritual values. AIPM strongly supports the implementation of natural human freedom and rights, the formation of an entirely new level of relations between nations based on good, selfless mutual help, and creative cooperation between different people across the planet. The forum consisted of one Ms. Olga Jeffay, a representative of AIPM, co-host Dr. Ms. Kusum Kanwar (Founder of AddsUpSkill, Dep. Pres. WEE CIMSME, Maharashtra) and four enterprising, young speakers representing the schools of Maharashtra.

Two of these speakers were our very own Ms. Kirti Samant and Ms. Pal Pathare of SVM, Ratnagiri, the other two being Masters Vyom & Ved Kanabar, both stalwart students in their own rights. The premise of the round table was about building a better tomorrow; the visions our four speakers have of a creative society. Each one of the orators shared their understanding of what and how a society needs to be if we are to fulfil what the prophets have dreamed of. Going by SVMs own, we were thrilled to hear them cite examples of Be More which incidentally is SVMs motto and the vision of our chairperson, Mr. Gadre. It gave us much joy and a sense of pride to listen in as both Kirti and Pal so confidently and creatively put their points through. There was a sense of conviction in the voices of all four speakers. Their genuine concern for, and faith in humanity was clearly visible. While the world reels under the pressures of extremities on all fronts, our speakers who represent the millions of children around the world may very well be on the verge of a renewed global awakening.
