The name and fame of Omkarananda Saraswati
Nilayam, an English Medium Inter-College, Muni-ki-Reti,
has spread all around for its quality education
and high class academic atmosphere. More and
more parents showed their keen desire for the
admission of their children in this School. But
many of them could not fulfil their desires as
often their wards could not qualify the
admission test conducted by the School. The
parents were much worried as to how they should
train their children to qualify the admission
test in a prestigious School. As a matter of
fact, Rishikesh City was lacking a good quality
School for tiny tots. The local people started
making persistent requests to H. H. Swami
Omkarananda Saraswatiji Maharaj to open such an
institution which can train the children and
develop their personality in this rapidly
growing and fast competitive modern world. Out
of His love towards education and out of His
generosity Gurudev very kindly agreed to create
such a type of School in Rishikesh. Thereafter
this School was opened in the Rishikesh City in
1999 and named as "Omkarananda Saraswati Nilayam
Preparatory School", with a motto to prepare the
students for Omkarananda Saraswati Nilayam,
Muni-ki-Reti.
The School is prominently situated at the
Rishikesh-Dehradun Road. It has a grand
building, big play ground with swings and other
play tools for the tiny tots. Undoubtedly this
is the first School of this kind in the City. It
is a Model School and is being praised all
around. There is a lot of rush of the parents
for the admission of their children. The way
children are trained with love and affection is
really praiseworthy. Children learn a lot of
things for practical life. They are taught Yoga
for concentration and meditation. Small
exercises in easy postures are taught to them.
Academic lessons (English, Hindi, etc.) are
provided by the teachers regularly. The goal of
the School is to provide a stimulating,
child-centred environment in which children can
explore, touch and learn without fear, thus
engendering a life long love for learning as
well as providing the children the self control
necessary to fulfil that love. Besides, there is
an excellent idea to teach practical things to
children by doing it like a game. One highlight
is done per month for practical things like:
'Dental Care', 'Juice Day', 'Card making Day'
etc. Parents meetings are regularly conducted.
The parents are suggested as to how to support
and supervise children at home for the School
work. The Staff of the School, the teaching as
well as non teaching, is very dedicated and
committed to the tremendous development of the
child. The School has now become a leading
School for tiny tots not only for the Rishikesh
City but also the surrounding areas.
