Parent’s Speak

I always felt and believed that a school is a second home and teachers are second parents to kids and contribute equally in moulding/shaping a child. Our experience with NHVM is as old as NHVM itself and we are fortunate beginners of this excellent institution. Teachers in each class have contributed in making some or the other positive mark on our kids.We were shaky and nervous when we admitted our son,Chirag in 2010 as his was the inaugural Nursery batch. But when we look back we are extremely satisfied and confidently admitted Sukriti, our daughter, in 2013. Now Chirag is in 5th standard and Sukriti is in 2nd Standard, they are doing very well and we all are extremely satisfied with New Horizon.Seeing Chirag, many parents in our apartment and society got interested in NHVM and admitted theirs kids. I would say this is a great testimonial of Impact. If Chirag and Sukriti go anywhere and if anyone praises them for their behavior, knowledge, Indian culture awareness and sincerity it is NHVM who is responsible and we want to thank each and everyone involved. The love and affection of UshaVasudevan (Principal Mam) to care and the sincerity of each and every teacher is commendable. I have never seen Usha Mam tensed and she always carries a smile and fulfils all her responsibilities which has an impact on kids as they learn from this. For us, the school and teachers played key role beyond their duties when we needed it the most. In the case of our kids, it became very evident due to recent events in our life. I would like to take this opportunity to describe our experience. Chirag was suffering from Beta Thalassemia major from birth and needed regular blood transfusion every 3 weeks and by God’s grace we found 100% DNA match in Germany by doing a global search. We decided to go for Bone Marrow Transplant in December 2016. BMT has its own risks. We had gone to meet his teachers and take their blessings for Chirag. In NHVM we went and met Michelle Ma’am and Viji Ma’am as these two teachers made a big impact on Chirag and what followed is a lifetime experience. Michelle Ma’am became a pillar and strong support in our last year’s very important and difficult journey. From day one of the BMT procedure till date, she stood like a rock with Chirag and eventually they became very close friends and share each day with each other. It’s still fresh in my mind that during BMT whenever Chirag used to feel low, Michelle Ma’am used to talk to him and we would see a broad smile on his face even though he was in pain with almost zero energy. This was a great Moral support for us too. It’s hard to find a teacher and human being of this grade and NHVM is playing its role to retain and enhance such quality teachers. They say “गुरु देवो भव:” and I experienced in reality a teacher who acted as a role model and performed duties beyond her role. Special thanks to this exemplary teacher. She hold a special place in our life. Chirag is back to normal life because of all the prayers and blessings that we received at New Horizon and New Horizon Gurukul supported us exceptionally to bring back Chirag to a normal life and schooling. Special thanks to Sheela Mam, InduMam, Akansha Mam and Parul Mam and all present subject teachers. Each and every teacher in NHVM has made a great mark on Chirag and Sukriti and I would like to take opportunity to thanks them: Chirag: Vrinda Mam (Nursery), Mitchelle Mam and Suchi Mam (LKG) and Viji Mam and Sonali Mam (UKG). Sukriti: Dhanya Mam (Nursery), Gurpreet Mam and Kartika Mam (LKG) and Mitchelle Mam and Divya Mam (UKG).
