Ms Nivedita Mukerjee

Honorary member of the School Advisory Board

Tagore’s thoughts – “Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high, where knowledge is free…Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection, where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way” – sums up my wish for education. Education is setting a child free from the regimentation of subjects and curriculum allowing them to pursue their natural curiosity, encouraging independent thought and action while exposing them to the wonders of life and the world around us. Over the past decade and a half, I have taught and learned with students, faculty and parents of various age groups, starting with early childhood years going on to higher education.

Following a long career in science and technology reporting, publishing and teaching after her education on the one hand in Bio Chemistry and recombinant DNA technology and on the other in Communication, Nivedita Mukerjee has been a quintessential educator and communicator. She has continued to explore and redefine the approach to education in both school as well as higher education. Being a fourth generation educator in her family, she endeavours to support the leadership teams of educational institutions in planning and implementing strategic initiatives to move the organisation towards excellence.

After interacting with different age group students, it is my understanding that every student needs to be equipped with the basic skills of sustainability in three areas – emotional, physical and intellectual. Without which education serves no purpose in today’s ever changing world. Thus, it has been my aim to formulate strategies which would facilitate students to be motivated, educated, successful and happy.
