the health of the students. ABPS has perfect set up of games and sports which include Dog and the Bone,

Chess, Carom, Kho-Kho Football, Volleyball, Basket ball and Cricket.

Time is changing and so is the educational landscape. Our students need a global perspective and a fresh

pedagogy. Keeping in sync with the ever changing scenario, the school has various clubs such as

Economics club, Astronomy club, Integrity club, Heritage club, Health and wellness club, and Reading

club. Different workshops are organised in the school to help children acquire many skills and emerge as

winners in their life. In order to widen the experiential horizons of the students and to promote their

creativity, the school encourages number of club activities. Adityans are empowered with creative, critical,

intellectual and decision-making skills necessary for them to be academically, socially, physically and

emotionally responsible.

I am extremely grateful to the team of Management, administrators and teachers for their dedication and

commitment. Most members of the staff contribute much beyond the call of duty. They carry out every task

with autonomy, accountability and efficiency. Our students give us an opportunity to do our best. Their

gratitude and affection makes our job worthier than a professional responsibility. I consider it a great

privilege to nurture our students. Due credit goes to the Parent committee as well as Management under

the dynamic and visionary of the trustee members of our school, Mr. Anil G Tiple and Mr. Gopi Krishna

Sarathi who provide us with timely guidance and inputs.

It is not important for a man to know a lot, but to know well not to care a little but to really be committed

and to have a passion. My mission in life is to thrive with some passion, compassion, some humour and

discipline. I strongly believe that ABPS has provided vast opportunities which has provided satisfaction in

the past and creates a vision for tomorrow. I am confident that the teachers will meet the added challenges

with even greater competence and confidence. I wish all the teachers immense success in all their

educational endeavours ahead.

We Dream, Dare and DO... We dream of professional learning that advances student achievement. We dare

things fragile as a thought, a dream and a legend, can go on and on.....”
