Alumni Accounts
As an alumnus and now a teacher at The Fabindia School, I have been fortunate to experience firsthand the profound impact this institution has had on both my personal and professional growth. When I joined the school in the eighth grade, I was a very shy student, unsure of myself and hesitant to express my thoughts. However, the unwavering support and encouragement from my teachers and the principal played a crucial role in helping me overcome this shyness. Their belief in my potential, combined with the nurturing environment they provided, gradually transformed me into a bold and confident individual.
The school’s emphasis on holistic education, where academics, sports, and extracurricular activities were given equal importance, further instilled in me a sense of curiosity, resilience, and a deep love for learning. I was encouraged to explore my interests, think critically, and develop a well-rounded personality.
Over the years, I have witnessed a drastic change in the school, with its commitment to innovation and excellence only growing stronger. The infrastructure has evolved, the curriculum has been enriched, and the opportunities for students to excel have multiplied. This continuous
improvement has not only elevated the school's reputation but has also deepened my pride in being associated with it.
Transitioning from a student to a teacher, I was privileged to get the opportunity to teach at the very school that played such a crucial role in my development. The values and principles imparted to me during my school days continue to guide me in my teaching journey. The collaborative and supportive community among staff and students has not only enhanced my teaching skills but has also deepened my understanding of the transformative power of education. The opportunity to give back to the place that shaped me is incredibly rewarding, and it fills me with pride to see the same spirit of inquiry and growth in my students that was once nurtured in me.
This school holds a special place in my heart, not just as the foundation of my educational journey but as the cornerstone of my development as an individual. I will always be grateful to The Fabindia School for the invaluable lessons, lifelong friendships, and unwavering support it has provided me throughout the years. It is a place that has truly shaped who I am today, and for that, I will always hold it in the highest regard.

It gives us water to drink, pure air to breathe, food to eat, land to stay on, animals, and plants for our other uses, etc for our betterment. We should fully enjoy nature without disturbing its ecological balance. We should care about our nature, make it peaceful, keep it green, and prevent it from destruction so that we can enjoy our nature forever. Nature is a most precious gift given by God to us to enjoy but not to harm.
