VISION
Chinmaya Vidyalaya Shegaon, like all Chinmaya Vidyalayas in the country is a School With A Difference (SWAD). By this we mean that we do not merely emphasize on academics though we are in the forefront in that field, but we also enable students to adapt to various situations in life through our Chinmaya Vision Programme (CVP) which aims at the holistic development of the individual by adopting the four-pronged programme of integrated development of the personality, inculcation of patriotism, emphasis on Indian culture along with a universal outlook on life.
Our school curriculum is framed to impart value-based education that aims at both spiritual and intellectual development of the child along with the physical and emotional. Our school is one of the leading schools in the field of academics. Students are encouraged to think creatively and originally.
Children are exposed to Indian culture and heritage right from the lower classes to higher classes by the teachers and the students. The students and teachers under the able guidance of the Vidyalaya Director Swamini Ujjwalananda perform all activities enthusiastically during such functions. They are educated about the real significance of the occasion, as explained in our scriptures.
Our children learn to see and appreciate the harmony in Creation by giving due importance to all aspects of environmental education. We are also enforcing a ban on plastic and encouraging the use of eco-friendly bags, pouches, plates, glasses etc. It is our vision to impart education through a mixture of Science and Spirituality.
SCHOOL MOTTO
“The Vidyalaya motto is ‘Keep Smiling’ and it means: Be brave and courageous, face every experience in life with a smile on your face.
In other words, be balanced in life under all circumstances – joy or sorrow, success or failure, honour or dishonour, prosperity or adversity. This calmness of the mind expresses itself in a smile. “
MISSION
Chinmaya Vidyalaya Shegaon, a Secondary School affiliated to the CBSE, is managed by Chinmaya Mission Educational and Cultural Trust, Shegaon. It was started to perpetuate the ideals of its founder H.H. Swami Chinmayananda and his vision of “catching them young”. The curriculum is supplemented with Chinmaya Vision Programme which focuses on, four aspects namely Integrated Development, Indian Culture, Patriotism and Universal Outlook. Through this the child is trained to imbibe value-based education that aims at both Spiritual and Intellectual Development along with the physical and emotional.
THE LOGO
The Chinmaya Vidyalaya has as its Logo, the lamp and the ‘Hamsa’ bird. In the light of the Scriptures (represented by the lamp) the discriminative power of the human intellect is to be developed (represented by the Hamsa bird). Vedic tradition describes Hamsa as a bird that can drink milk alone from a solution of milk and water. The human intellect with its discriminative power must be able to discriminate between spirit and matters and must come to enjoy the Spiritual Essence in the world of names and forms. Thus the emblem indicates that the function of the Mission is to help people in developing ethical values and cultivating in them a discriminative intellect.
