Introduction
The Adharshila School is an institution providing quality education in village Agraa of Sheopur
district, Madhya Pradesh. Located in Vijaypur tehsil, this school was established in 2005 with an
objective of imparting quality and standard education in this area and to replace the book based
pedagogical system with one that aims in bringing an overall development in students. Children of all
classes and categories from ten surrounding villages travel to Agraa to study at Adharshila. Our aim
is to motivate more children from the lower cadres to study.
History
Adharshila School is administered by the Adharshila Shiksha Samiti. The Samiti was registered as a
Society in 2003 with the Registrar of Firms and Societies, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, under the
Madhya Pradesh Societies Registration Act, 1973.
Adharshila started as an institution providing primary education but later turned into a secondary
school. A distinguished achievement of Adharshila is that it is ready to transform into a High school
from the next session.
In the year 2001, Samrakshan Trust started an
education programme for children of villages
that were displaced from the Kuno Wildlife
Sanctuary.. The aim of this education
programme at that time was to provide
temporary educational facilities till the
government resumed facilities in the affected
region. Though the programme achieved its
objective by 2007, the Adharshila working team
had by then, taken a decision to forward their
vision of providing education to all by founding
‘Adharshila’.
A distinguished achievement of
Adharshila is that it is ready to
transform into a High School from the
next session.

As a result of responsibilities towards their
younger siblings, many students were compelled to miss school days. To provide a solution to this
problem, Adharshila Committee started a play school for their younger siblings so that they could
attend classes, while their siblings played within the school campus itself.. The playschool started in
2011 and is currently attended by 41 children.

Autonomous Institution
There has been a substantial progress in our objective of establishing Adharshila as an autonomous
institution. Though it was important to dispatch a proposal to donor institutions to accumulate
required funds, a need was felt to first organise an effective administrative structure. A meeting was
organised to enhance the skills and capacities of the active body of Adharshila. All of last year’s
efforts have fructified into making Adharshila a recognised institution by the Income Tax
Department. Moreover suitable agencies have been selected for tax and accounts related issues and
subsequent alliances with them have also been made.

Teaching-Learning at Adharshila
Adharshila has been registered under the Madhya Pradesh Education Board thus the syllabus
followed here is one prescribed by the concerned board. Along with the syllabus, numerous other
activities are consistently undertaken to make studying and teaching more appealing. The focus is to
make students understand the subject matter rather than strictly adhering to books. Students are
encouraged to take up activities like calligraphy and painting so as to nurture their skills.
242 students have appeared for the Board examination out of a total of 299 in the 2011-12 session,
while the rest remained absent. 236 students, out of those who appeared for the exams have
passed. This marks the end of this session and the beginning of a new session. The Committee
decided to start the new session immediately after the announcement of examination results i.e.
from April Ist, 2012.
With the objective of maintaining the quality of teaching standard in Adharshila the student- teacher
ratio is kept as low as possible. Currently this ratio is 1:30, which represents the status of physical
infrastructure
The committee has initiated a competition called "Kaun Banega Hazaarpati" to increase the
educational standard of students. A randomised selection of students is conducted and every
Saturday afternoon, two students are given an opportunity to answer ten questions correctly.
Depending on the number of questions answered correctly, a student can win anything between Rs
25 to Rs 1000.

Guardians’ meeting
Due to the observation that some students remain consistently absent or non-punctual, and also
due to irregular deposition of fees, a parents- teachers meeting was organised that saw more than
300 interested parents taking part in their child’s schooling.
Cultural Events
As per tradition, the Annual Cultural Evening, conceptualised during the Independence Day
Celebration was organised in 2011 as well. A number of students were interested in showcasing
their singing and dancing skills and it is this extraordinary zeal of the students that prompted the
Committee to organise a Cultural Evening providing students with an opportunity to nurture their
talents.

Sports Activities
Like every year, Adharshila organised the Sitara Cup Cricket tournament in which eight middle level
schools participated. Adharshila maintained its previous year’s performance by winning the
tournament this year as well.
Inter School Sports Competition
As per the annual calendar of the school an Inter School Sports Competition was organised in which
700 participants from 24 primary and middle schools participated. Skipping, shot-put throw, javelin
throw, long jump, high jump were the various events in which participants competed.

Regional visit
In the year 2011-12, 200 students were facilitated to visit Gwalior. The sites visited included the Zoo,
the Museum and the "Samadhi" of Rani Laxmi Bai. Students were encouraged to write an essay on
the regional visit and those with outstanding essays were awarded.
