REMEMBERING THE PIONEERAVIATORS

Having turned a new leaf by stepping intothe New Year, it would be prudent tocarry out introspection by taking stock

of the ground realities. This is essential on twocounts; firstly, having experienced the quality ofservices being provided worldwide, the air-travelling populace has become moredemanding. Secondly, managing airports is notthe same as operating them any more, as therules have been redefined with entry of newplayers into the fray as airport operators, therebyending AAI’s monopolistic status. Moreover,airport management is no longer to be treated asa cog in the wheel of air transportation; in fact itis to be run on vibrant commercial principles. Itwould be apt if we were to run through theinitiatives and activities of 2011, to analyse theshortcomings, if any, and draw up lessons for thefuture.

Impressive Growth Rate on All FrontsDuring 2011, airports in the country, i.e. AAI-managed airports and other joint venture (JV)and private airports handled 1518.86 thousandaircraft movements (310.74 thousandinternational and 1208.12 thousand domestic),157.51 million passengers (39.48 millioninternational and 118.03 million domestic) and2308.83 thousand tonnes of freight (1495.43thousand international and 813.40 thousanddomestic).

The total aircraft movements and passengershave witnessed the double-digit growth of10.93 per cent and 14.43 per cent respectively,whereas freight traffic has registered a marginalincrease of 0.82 per cent as compared to thetraffic handled during 2010.

2 I AAI UPDATE I March 2012

Airports Authority of India as an AirNavigation Service Provider (ANSP)

recently won the prestigious Jane’s Award forthe year 2012 for achieving the bestoperational efficiency through its upperairspace harmonisation programme. Theaward was presented to AAI at an impressiveceremony in Amsterdam on March 5, 2012,in the presence of CEOs and top executivesof major ANSPs of the world.

Jane’s ATC (air traffic control) Awardshave established a reputation for recognisingand rewarding excellence within air trafficcontrol industry. India had sent in thenomination for the coveted Jane’s Awardunder the operational efficiency category featuring Indian upper-airspaceharmonisation programme. The upper- airspace harmonisationprogramme involves redesigning the airspace to increase airspace capacitythrough operation of multiple ATC sectors enabled by air traffic service(ATS) automation, networking of radars and Very High Frequency (VHF)frequencies. The redesigned airspace would cater to future growth of airtraffic and contribute to enhanced efficiency and safety. The redesigningof airspace is being taken up in phases in the four flight information regions(FIRs) with Chennai FIR being the first one.

Our entry focussed on achievements/benefits associated with upper

airspace restructuring of Chennai FIR as it hasbeen completed and commissioned inSeptember 2011. The salient features ofupper-airspace harmonisation in Chennai FIRinclude complete air traffic management(ATM) automation, operation of one UpperACC Centre with five dynamic sectors fromChennai enabled by successful integration of10 radars, cross-coupling of VHF frequenciesand implementation of air traffic servicesinter-facility data communication (AIDC).Some of the benefits have markedimprovement in ATM operational efficiency,availability of user-preferred flight profile, on-time performance of aircraft and increased

airspace capacity. The restructuring of airspace in Chennai FIR alone wouldresult in fuel savings of 22.3 million litres per annum to the operators on aconservative estimate, apart from substantial reduction in carbon emission.

The defining moment was AAI emerging on top from the shortlist andbagging the award. It drew much appreciation and glowing tributes frommajor ANSPs of the world. Mr V Somasundaram, Member (Air NavigationServices), received the award on behalf of AAI to a standing ovation.

The award not only adds another feather on the cap of AAI but alsomarks the rare distinction of AAI being the leader among many majorANSPs in achieving ATM operational efficiency.

Cargo handled during the year was3,19,619 metric tonnes (MT), which was 23.48per cent higher than the previous year. Cargohandled at AAI airports between April 2011and September, 2011 was 1,57.161 MT, whichwas 1.12 per cent higher than that in thecorresponding period of the previous year.

Some of the highlights of the year havebeen the introduction of the ground-handlingoperations at the cargo complex of Chennaiairport and cargo export operations at KolkataAirport, the development of virtual privatenetwork (VPN) interconnectivity at Amritsar andCoimbatore with Kolkata ICES 1.5 versionthereby optimum utilisation of infrastructure atKolkata. The income of the AAI for the yearended 31.3.2011 was `5139.21 crorecompared to `4615.29 in 2009-10.

A I R P O R T S A U T H O R I T Y O F I N D I AAAI UPDATE

March 2012 I AAI UPDATE I 3

As part of its continuing efforts to improve the air-navigationfacilities for the aircraft and passengers at all the airports in thecountry, the Airports

Authority of India (AAI) hasrecently taken up theinitiative of upgrading theexisting instrument-landingsystem to Category-II atAmritsar for supporting safeand smooth aircraftoperations. The upgradationof the system to Category-IIrequired improvement inairport infrastructure, removalof obstacles in and aroundthe airport, training for theControllers and theMaintenance Personnel.Having completed all therequirements and onobtaining the regulatoryapproval, the ILS CAT-II hasbeen operationalised since December 23, 2011, at Shri Guru Ram DasJee International Airport, Amritsar.

The advanced landing system would reduce the visibility

requirement for an aircraft for landing at Amritsar Airport from theexisting 650 metres to 350 metres.

The implementation of ILSCAT-II system will be a bigboon for the passengers ofthis pilgrim city particularlyduring winter when thevisibility goes down wellbelow 650 metres. The

aircraft would be able toland safely even during poorvisibility (up to 350 metres) atAmritsar reducing the chancesfor diversion of the aircraft toother airports in such cases.Aircraft would be able to takeoff from Amritsar even whenthe visibility is as low as 400metres.

The implementation of ILSCat-II would benefit theairlines in terms of increased

safety, avoiding diversions, minimising holding for visibilityimprovement with consequent gains in operating costs and lesser fuelburn and substantial environmental efficiency.

� Upper airspace in Chennai FIR has beenrestructured with upper ACC and fiveupper sectors and six lower ACCs havebeen operationalised. New ATCautomation system has also beenoperationalised with shadow mode. Themain highlights of the project includeoperating multiple sectors of Air TrafficControl from a single centre at Chennaicovering the en route phase of the flights,integration of various radars located atChennai, Porur, Hyderabad, Mangalore,Bengaluru, Trivandrum, Bellary and HAL ,complete ATS automation with variouscontroller tools and remote operation ofVHF from Chennai. The integration ofradars facilitates direct routing of flightsthereby reducing flight distance/time andsaving fuel for the airlines. DedicatedSatellite Communication Networking(DSCN) has been operationalised at 67sites which would permit transportationvoice/AFTN/radar data.

� MSSRs have been commissioned atChennai and Site Acceptance Testcompleted at Bellary, Vizag, Bhopal andPorbandar.

� The upgraded Digital Airport TerminalInformation system (DATIS) has beencommissioned at 46 airports.

Safety AuditsIn pursuance with the CAR on the

establishment of Safety Management System(SMS) issued by DGCA we have not onlyconducted safety audit of 13 AAI-ownedaerodromes but also successfully completedthe first phase of SMS implementation byrevising its safety policy and objectives asspecified by DGCA CAR to identify systematicdeficiencies and hazards during the periodmentioned above. The SMS ImplementationPlan and the Gap Analysis with the Regulatoryrequirements have been prepared. TheChairman, AAI and ED (Aviation Safety) havebeen designated as Accountable Executiveand Safety Manager respectively by the AAIBoard. Staff Training and Competency beingcritical element of SMS to ensure delivery ofservice meets the highest level of safety andefficiency. Three training programmes on SMSand aerodrome licensing have beenconducted by Aviation Safety Directorate atIAA, the aim being to bring about the desireddegree of awareness of SMS and the level ofcompetence/efficiency expected from all itspersonnel.

Emergence of Two New Training InstitutesNIATAM (National Institute of Aviation Trainingand Management) and IAA (Indian AviationAcademy) have been made operational atGondia in Maharashtra and New Delhi,respectively. Both the institutes have the state-of-the-art facilities and are comparable with thebest in the world. These two institutions have

undoubtedly made AAI proud and are ‘assets’in the true sense, thus adding a feather toAAI’s cap.

Recognition and Achievements� Ahmedabad, Amrtisar and Trivandrum

airports were adjudged the best airportsunder National Competition for SteelStructure by FICCI–INSDAG.

� Pakyong airport in Sikkim was selected theBest Greenfield Airport by the GreentechFoundation.

� Chennai Airport was adjudged the Airportof the Year 2010 by the Southern IndiaChamber of Commerce and Industry.

Areas of Concern There are some areas of concern where thereis much to be desired with respect to ourperformance. The Chennai and Kolkata projectsare glaring examples, from which valuablelessons can be learnt.

The FutureThough an unbiased view of the aboveintrospection would weigh in favour of ourachievements and good performance, a wordof caution would be in order, especially sincewe are pitted against private players in a totallycommercial environment. Hence there is noscope whatsoever for lackadaisical attitude/complacency to set in nor can we afford tolive on laurels.

6 IAAI UPDATE I March 2012

The year 2012 commenced on an auspiciousnote for Ministry of Civil Aviation with Shri AjitSingh, coming at the helm-of-affairs and taking

charge as the Minister of civil aviation. We at AAIought to consider ourselves fortunate to have notonly an illustrious politician but also, a Technocrat inthe true sense as our Minister. He being an alumni ofIIT, Kharagpur and Illinois Institute of Technology,Chicago was most befitting choice to head a highlytechnical oriented ministry which has to not only keeppace with the ever-changing technology, but also,usher in the state-of-art technology in all its facets ofoperations, so as to be at par in a global scenario. InMr Singh as our Minister, we undoubtedly would havethe right authority to critically analyse our projects andthus, be guided to trek on the correct path. Ourexcellent work will also be well appreciated.

Shri Ajit Singh who has had an outstanding political career, is the son oflate Chaudhary Charan Singh, formidable eader and former Prime Minister.He has rich experience as an Union Cabinet Minister, for he has had theproud privilege of having been Union Cabinet Minister of Industry, Union

Cabinet Minister of Food and Union Cabinet Ministerof Agriculture.

After completing his academics, Mr Singhworked as a Computer Scientist for 17 years in theUnited States of America before he returned tothe country to assist his father in the early 1980swho founded the Lok Dal party. He got firstelected to the Rajya Sabha in 1986. He is a sixtime Member of Lok Sabha representing Baghpatparliamentary constituency in Uttar Pradesh.

Shri Singh took over the reins of Indian civilaviation at a time when it had just passed throughthe worst year, notwithstanding that we have animpressive growth rate and also, the fact we arewell-harnessed in the first ‘ten’ of the world’saviation market and inching towards being in the

first five. Despite the turbulent conditions that our aviation sector is negotiating

through, we at AAI would like to assure our Honourable Minister that weare not only confident but will leave no stone unturned to provide aseamless transition in airports and airspace management.

Having realized that amongst them, they possessed a reservoirof expertise which could be gainfully utilized, the veterans ofthe Airports Authority of India, under the dynamic

stewardship of HS Bhatia, former Member (Engineering) IAAI, havecreated a body christened Airports Authority of India Retired OfficersForum (AAIROF). The Forum is also a formal body in place to overseethe welfare of the retired fraternity ofAAI.

Mission The Forum seeks to promote,propagate and strengthen the feelingof brotherhood and work togetherfor socio-economic, professional,general welfare and benefits of themembers of the Forum and theirdependents and associates.

The Forum is a secular and non-political body which is not directlyor indirectly associated with anypolitical organisation or institution. Itseeks to promote a feeling ofoneness and fraternity among theofficers to provide a common meeting place for social gatherings andintellectual exchange of ideas and work for socio-economic andgeneral welfare of members the Forum. It shall also honour andpreserve the memory of those who have died while in service orafter retirement.

It will perform social and charitable services catering to the needsof the beneficiaries and the society at large in the areas of education,health, environment and aviation etc. Also, the Forum seeks topromote, project and protect the interest of the retired beneficiariesand render meaningful assistance in redressing their grievances andwork for the redressal of their grievances. The AAIROF will activelyassociate and organize seminars, lectures, meetings, and conferences

at the national and international level, for the benefit of thebeneficiaries — on the subject of aviation in the pursuit of all or any of the subjects mentioned in its laid down aims and objectives.

The Forum organised the inaugural get-together on February 19,2012 at the Airports Authority of India, Officers Institute, SafdarjungAirport, New Delhi wherein, they invited the Management of AAI and

in their presence formally launchedAAIROF. During the function, HSBhatia, the convener of the Forumapprised the management of theaims, objectives of the Forum andother facets of the Memorandum ofAssociation. He also, laid dueemphasis on the rationale behindcreating the Governing Council whichwould be headed by a Presidentwho would be the previousincumbent of the office of Chairman,AAI. Other members of theGoverning Council shall be those duly

elected by the members of the Forum.VP Agrawal, Chairman, AAI and othermembers of the Management of AAI,

were very appreciative of the action initiated by the group of retiredofficers under HS Bhatia and congratulated them. They were of theview that creation of such a body was rather overdue. They assuredthe Forum of unconditional support and assistance from themanagement for the larger interest of the organisation.

The Kalyanmayee story began onDecember 23, 1987 — 25 years ago —when Ms Raj Singh, wife of Mr N K Singh,

the then Chairman of the erstwhile InternationalAirports Authority of India (IAAI), sowed theseed which germinated in the creation of anassociation which was christened as“Kalyanmayee — Ladies Association ofInternational Airports Authority of India”. Thebody was registered with the Registrar ofSocieties, Delhi Administration, under theSocieties Act, XXI of 1860.

The association stated inits aims and objects that itwould carry out activities fordevelopment of socially andeconomically marginalisedcommunities and the under-privileged section of societyat large. The cause of thewelfare of the population of the fourInternational Airports at Delhi, Bombay, Calcuttaand Madras was also included. Notwithstanding,the aims and objectives being very laudable, theassociation became dormant in due course oftime, especially after the first set of office-bear-ers went off the scene. Subsequently, in 1994,Ms Manju Bhardwaj, wife of Mr A M Bhardwaj,the then Jt Secy, MoCA and Officiating Chairmanof IAAI and NAA (National Airports Authority),took the initiative to revive the association whichwas in a dormant state. Some social and cultural

activities were conducted under the aegis ofKalyanmayee; the tempo was maintained by MrRanjan Chatterjee, the then Jt Secy, MoCA &Officiating Chairman of AAI, where the annualday functions were held under the aegis ofKalyanmayee with the assistance of Sangam, alocal troupe and Kendriya Vidyalaya, Rangpuri ofAAI.

The real boost to the association came in1998 from Mr D V Gupta, the then Chairman,AAI. He realised that the association, in the pres-

ent format, i.e. which was formedin 1987 for just four airports, wasfalling short of expectations, asthe AAI was then managing notonly 125 airports but also thewhole of the Indian airspace.Accordingly, the services of MsJija Madhavan Hari Singh, the thenCVO and Gp Capt D C Mehta, the

then Director (Personnel), were requisitioned,keeping in view their background of police andarmed forces services, respectively. These twoexecutives, known for their multifarious talents,eye for minute details, capability to burn themidnight oil took on this additional arduous taskwith smiles and got down to the serious busi-ness for rebuilding the association from scratchby putting brick-by-brick together.

The association was aptly rechristened“Kalyanmayee — Airports Authority of IndiaWoman Welfare Association (AAIWWA)” as an

The adage “Every great journey begins witha small and humble step”, is indeed veryapt in the case of Kalyanmayee too. It was

quarter of a century ago, that Ms Raj Singh wifeof NK Singh, the then Chairman of the erstwhileIAAI (International Airports Authority of India)had taken this small and humble step on the greatjourney called ‘Kalyanmayee’.

The status of Kalyanmayee — AAIWWA, as itcelebrates its silver jubilee — is a testament tothe long strides taken on the great journey as itembarks upon the new achievements. On thefirst leg of its journey, Kalyanmayee got trans-formed into AAIWWA, thereby not only expand-ing its horizons but also, setting goals which itsuccessfully attained.

Thus, in keeping with the high traditions setand also, AAI considerations that Kalyanmayee ison the threshold of stepping into the 2ndQuarter Century of its existence, I thought it pru-dent to engage in loud thinking, so as to give youan opportunity to have a peek at our plans.

Commemoration of Silver Jubilee: Mentionedbelow are two events in the pipeline as a tributeto the 25 years of Kalyanmayee’s glorious service:➘ Fashion Show: A totally in-house fashion

show, wherein the models walking on theramp would be from and amongst the AAIfamily, i.e. a happy mix of the women work-force, spouses of the male workforce andthe children of AAI. The fashion show wouldbe planned and executed with the assis-tance and banner of Satya Paul. The objec-tive of the show would be to inculcate asense of pride in the Indian ‘saree’.

➘ Floral Depiction of the tools of AAI: Anunique, rare and innovative way of depictingthe tools, modalities involved in the day-to-day functions of AAI, through the very deli-cate methods of ‘Floral Depiction’ will be ondisplay at AAI’s Officers Institute. Floral mod-els of the ATC-tower, fire tenders, helicop-ters etc, will be on display.

extended arm of AAI. The constitution was drafted afresh taking into con-sideration the changed scenario. As an outcome of the meticulous plan-ning, they embarked on their mission with gusto, zeal and enthusiasm. Inthe true sense, Ms Jija Madhavan Hari Singh and Gp Capt D C Mehta canbe called the true architects of AAIWWA, the strong foundation of whichwas laid by Mr D V Gupta and Ms Saroj Gupta. This foursome can righty bereferred to as the ‘Four Pillars’ of the present-day Kalyanmayee.

The new Memorandum of Articles of Association catered to an all-India charter, involving all the five regions, international airports and CATC.Since the ‘horizon’ had expanded manifold, AAIWWA started conductingthe various social, cultural, activities on an all-India basis which automaticallyentailed participation of all regional and other chapters of AAIWWA. Inaddition, AAIWWA rose to all occasions at the national and internationallevels, be it a natural calamity in the form of floods, earthquake, tsunami oreven the Kargil operations. Ms Saroj Gupta, President, Kalyanmayee, AAI-WWA, along with her Executive Committee Members called upon MsMalick, President, AWWA (Army Wives Welfare Association) and wife ofGeneral Malick, COAS (Chief of Army Staff) to present a cheque as a dona-tion from AAIWWA towards the welfare of the Kargil widows. An auspi-cious beginning had been made and the successors that followed carriedforward the well-established traditions, till Ms Archna Agrawal, wife of Mr VP Agrawal, the present-day Chairman of AAI arrived on the scene.

In pursuance of the well-established and time-tested fact that anyprogressive organisation carries out constant monitoring of its policies andplans to ensure that it not only keeps abreast with ever-changing technol-ogy and time, Ms Archna Agrawal, taking over the reins of Kalyanmayee,did exactly the same. It may not be out of context if it were to be statedthat she had not only the distinct advantage of having been activelyinvolved with AAIWWA ever since its inception but also, the experienceof having been the President of the Northern and North-Eastern Regions,as well as the Vice President at the national level. To add to that, she pos-sesses an innovative and creative bent of mind. She gainfully put to useher plethora of expertise based on her experience and aptitude.

To begin with, she had the Memorandum of Articles of Associationrevised and selected a team of executives on the cardinal principle ofthe “Right Person for the Right Job”. The list of achievements is ‘testimony’to the work that AAIWWA has been doing. � DOP (Delegation of Powers) in Kalyanmayee has been evolved for

the very first time and put in place.� The first-ever AAI Anthem has been made and can be heard as the

‘Hello Tune’ on all AAI exchanges across India, inclusive of all officialmobile phones.

� AAIWWA has made the parent organisation proud by establishingPaper Recycling and Stationery Unit at Rangpuri. New Delhi. AAI is the

Kalyanmayee down the ages...

Messages onthe wall

A “Wall Painting Competition” was organ-ised under the aegis of Kalyanmayee, JuhuAirport. The competition was based onthe following themes:

first-ever PSU to have taken the lead and established such a unit.� Waste Management at INA Colony based on the principle: REDUCE

work is in progress for the infant population of the female workforce,so that they can discharge their duties without unwanted tensions.

� 24X7 Medical Centre at Pakyong in Sikkim� Ensuring availability of piped drinking water at Losing and Dikling vil-

lages near Pakyong� Regular Medical Camps at airports, specially at Raipur, Patna, Lucknow,

etc.� Conducted the first-ever “All Women Car Rally” with the aim to prop-

agate the importance of ‘preserving the environment’ by promotingawareness of recycled handmade paper amongst the masses.

� Converting the hitherto conduct of social and cultural programmesinto tech-savvy ones by ushering in the latest technology and push-ing it to a professional level rather than allowing the programmes tostagnate with the label of their being amateurish.

� Running Computer Training Centre with the assistance of NIIT atMumbai airport.It was indeed a sheer coincidence that at the last anniversary in 2011,

the ‘Architects of AAIWWA’, Ms Jija Madhavan Hari Singh and Gp Capt D C

Mehta were invitees to all the associated functions and thus, witness tothe standards achieved. Who else, other than these two, could be in abetter position to assess the progress and the level attained by AAIWWA.They have been associated with AAIWWA ever since its inception —rather, AAIWWA was born in their arms. Both were so impressed by theprofessionalism that they decided to spring a surprise during the culturalevening by honouring Ms Archna Agrawal in the presence of the wholeAAI family for her untiring, relentless efforts that have transformed the veryconcept of Kalyanmayee-AAIWWA and clearly manifested in the newerheights attained by AAIWWA. In recognition of the unparallelled efforts,while honouring Ms Agrawal it was stated that this was just the ‘tip of theiceberg’, since she deserved many more and much higher accolades. MsAgrawal while thanking them for their kind gesture, confessed that she notonly felt honoured but was deeply humbled by their act.

Kalyanmayee in the past 25 glorious years has not only witnessed agreat deal of transformation, but has in the true sense proved to be anasset to AAI as the meaningful and extended arm of the parent organisa-tion. AAIWWA has been playing a pivotal role as the sleeping partner inshouldering the responsibility of overseeing the execution of AAI’s CSRprojects. Kalyanmayee-AAIWWA has, in the true sense, ‘graduated andcome of age’. Under the able stewardship of Ms Archna Agrawal,Kalyanmayee-AAIWWA will go places and cover many miles.

AAI Annual Day Cultural Programme: The 2012 Annual Day CulturalEvening has been planned for Saturday, the 28th April 2012 at NewDelhi. This year we are planning a detour from the normal run-of-the-mill cultural evenings conducted hitherto. Whilst keeping the nitty-grit-ty’s under the wrap so as to retain the element of surprise, I couldassure you it would be at a new level, not witnessed to date.

All Women Car Rallies: Seeing the success and popularity of therecently conducted maiden AAI All Woman Car Rally in Delhi,Kalyanmayee-AAIWWA has also decided to conduct similar rallies atChennai and Trivandrum. The objective of the rally is to create aware-ness of the use of recycled paper amongst the masses, therebypropagating the importance of conserving environment. AAI is thefirst-ever PSU to explore this route, effectively apprising the populaceof the pioneer initiatives taken by AAI. The replication of the Delhi’scar rally at Chennai and Trivandrum will be with active participation ofthe local aviation fraternity, PSUs and the state and local authorities.

Ushering in Montessori Education. Kalyanmayee-AAIWWA is in thefinal stages of adopting Montessori education for 25-30 childrenbetween the ages of 3 and 6 years from the underprivileged sectionof our society. The infrastructure at the Balkendra would be gainfullyused for this noble cause. Montessori education is an educationalapproach developed by Italian physician and educationist Dr. MariaMontessori, which is in practice at 20,000 schools around the world.

It can be said that yeomen service is being rendered right from thecradle to eighteen years of age. Montessori education is charac-terised by an emphasis on independence, freedom within limits, andrespect for a child’s natural psychological development keepingabreast with technological advancements in society.

Montessori education is based on principles of self-develop-ment, liberty, and spontaneous activity, i.e. fundamentally “A Model ofHuman Development” and an educational approach based on thesaid model. The model consists of two basic elements. Firstly, chil-dren and developing adults engage in psychological self-develop-ment by means of interacting and interpreting their environments.

Secondly, children, especially under the age of six, have aninnate path of psychological development. Based on her experience,Montessori believed that children ought to be given liberty tochoose and act freely within an environment prepared according toher model which would act spontaneously for optimal development.

By adopting this method of education, Kalyanmayee-AAIWWAwill ensure inculcation of the qualities such as self-preservation, orien-tation to the environment, communication, gainful adaption of theenvironment exactness, repetition, abstraction, self-perfection andalso creating mathematical minds. Upholding the dictum that ‘anythingobtained free-of-cost tends to lose shine and respect’,Kalyanmayee-AAIWWA shall charge a nominal fee from children justto keep the urge burning in their bellies and thereby ensuring regularattendance at school.

Opening strokes(continued from page 21)

The seed of Balkendra was sown by Mr Gauri Ardhnareshwarn,Chairman, AAI in 1993. The school was started on November 19,1993, with one teacher, Ms Bhagirathi, a helper and seven chil-

dren. Today, it stands as a fully-grown tree and many children haveenjoyed its fruits in the form of good education and a healthy environ-ment.

Having begun the Balkendra in a garage, we had to depend on theAAI and benefactors for every necessity. Till 2005, the school func-tioned out of two rooms for fifty students. When Ms Archna Agrawaltook over as President, Kalyanmayee, a transformation took place. Sheprovided tremendous support and helped take Balkendra to new

heights. She took a keen interest in the holistic development of Balkendraand a new building was made in 2008 with modern infrastructure.Today, the student strength has gone up to 200+ and we are forced torestrict the number of admissions due to limited space. Earlier, aid wasgiven to the school by AAI, but now it is an independent Kalyanamayeeunit. It has an independent account under the observation of theEducation Committee of Kalyanmayee.

The school considers education to be a lifelong process, whichdeserves a strong foundation. The goal of the school is to inculcate inthe students love for learning and a desire to excel at every level. Wework towards exploring the potential of each child, believing each oneto be unique. Our goal is to simulate their curiosity, guide them toexplore, help them acquire skills and instil in them the joy of learning.

We consider every child who enters the doors of Balkendra asacred trust from God. We aim at harmonius, wholesome and holisticdevelopment. Our programmes incorporate an integrated curriculum thatpromotes learning through music, art, drama, dance, projects, field tripsand outdoor plays.

We have also taken under our wing some specially-abled childrenand made special efforts to help them merge into mainstream educa-tion: they have been admitted to prestigious schools in Delhi.

I sincerely acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of our dedicat-ed teachers who form the indispensable core of Balkendra, as also oursupport staff. My thanks go out to Ms Archna Agarwal, President,Kalyanmayee, for her constant support. I gratefully acknowledge the sup-port provided by members of the Education Committee of Kalyanmayeeand the administrative staff.
