Could you tell us more about your school?
Doon Global School is located in Jhajra, Dehradun, and we have around 800 students, including 150 boarding students. The school is progressing well. We are aligned with the NEP and focus on inclusive education—welcoming differently-abled students as well. It’s important not just for them to learn from us, but also for us to learn from them. Empathy develops naturally in such an environment. We’re implementing innovative practices like bagless days, activity-based learning, and vocational courses from pre-primary up to Class 12.
You also come from a defence background. How does your school approach discipline and sports?
Discipline, to me, begins with self-discipline. As educators, we can guide and mentor, but a child must take responsibility for their own education. That’s where real learning begins. When leaders show self-discipline, others follow. Regarding sports, our school has excellent facilities—futsal, box cricket, obstacle courses, outdoor gyms, table tennis, basketball, and more. We believe in balancing academics with physical activity because a healthy mind resides in a healthy body.
You’ve seen the event’s mix of school and higher education leaders, corporates, and government representatives. How do you see this platform benefiting the education community?
A big thank you for creating this kind of platform. It may seem small, but it sparks ideas and conversations that can lead to larger changes. Meeting like-minded people, sharing perspectives—it gives us immense joy and learning. So truly, salute to you and your team.
