Teacher

नमस्कार, मेरा नाम अनीता हैं में शिशु अनु‌भाग के विद्यार्थियों को हिन्दी पढ़ाती हूँ। मुझे शिशु अनुभाग के बच्चों को पढ़ाना बहुत अच्छा लगता हैं। पढ़ाई के साथ- साथ उनसे वाद विवाद करना भी बहुत अच्छा लगता है। पढ़ाई के साथ सबसे ज़रूरी होता है शिशु अनुभाग के बच्चों को प्यार से आगे ले जाना। मुझे गर्व महसूस होता हैं कि मुझे डुक पदमा करपो स्कूल में चौदह वर्ष हुए। अपने कार्यरत को आगे ले जाने में दिलो जान से प्रयत्न करूँगी

मेरा अनुभव हैं कि शिशु विभाग के बच्चों को पढ़ाना एक चुनौती हैं। में अपने आप को भाग्य शाली समझती हूँ कि में इस चुनौती को स्वीकार कर पाई। शिक्षा के साथ साथ बच्चों को आगे ले जाने में प्यार की बहुत आवश्यकता होती हैं। हर एक बच्चों के भावनाओं को समझना हमारा प्रथम कर्तव्य हैं। धन्यवाद हिन्दी अध्यापिका - शिशुअनुभाग -अनीता कुमारी

The Junior Section at Druk Padma Karpo School consists of 220 students across classes 2, 3, and 4, each with two sections: A and B. The class sizes vary, with 36 to 38 students per section. The section is supported by seven subjects, with six subject teachers and an IT teacher, alongside departmental classes in Physical Education, Art, and Music. Every Saturday, the Junior Section dedicates the first two periods to dance class.

The Junior Section is managed by a Section Head, who serves a two-year term, rotating based on seniority. Each class has a Class Teacher who stays with the same group of students for three years, fostering a strong teacher-student bond and understanding. Students enjoy two IT periods, one dance class, and one Art and Music class weekly. Additionally, Saturdays are designated as No-Book Day, where students engage in various activities, including ‘Multi-Speciality Day’ (MSD) with poem recitations and creative competitions.

Each class presents a performance during the assembly once a year, competing within their section. At the end of the year, the best-performing class receives a prize. This structure not only promotes academic excellence but also encourages creativity, discipline, and teamwork, providing a well-rounded education that prepares students for future learning.

नमस्कार ,जुले

मेरा नाम अंगमों है और मैं कनिष्ठ अनुभाग के विद्यार्थियों को हिंदी पढ़ाती हूँ। मैं सन् 2019 से ड्रुक पदमा करपो विद्यालय में कार्यरत हूँ । इस विद्यालय को पाकर मैं अपने आपको भाग्यशाली समझती हूँ कि मुझे ऐसे अदभुत विद्यालय मैं पढ़ाने का सुनहरा अवसर मिल रहे हैं। मेरा अनुभव है कि कनिष्ठ अनुभाग के विद्यार्थियों को पढ़ाना एक चुनौती है , फिर भी एक अध्यापिका होने के नाते अपने चुनौती को अच्छे से स्वीकार कर पाई। मेरा मानना है कि हर एक अध्यापक या अध्यापिका के अंदर बच्चों के प्रति प्रेम, सहानुभूति और क्षमता होना बहुत आवश्यक हैं। हमें हर एक बच्चों की भावनाओं को भी को भी अच्छे से समझना चाहिए ताकि बच्चों का उज्ज्वल भविष्य बना सकें।यही हमारा प्रथम कर्तव्य है। मैं परम् पूजनीय ड्रुकपा रिनपोछे जी एवं परम् श्रद्धेय थूकसे रिनपोछे जी का तय दिल से शुक्रगुजार हूँ । मैं हमेशा यही दुआ करूंगी कि आप दोनों का आशीर्वाद सदा हम पर बनी रहें। धन्यवाद।

I have been teaching English in the Junior Section at Druk Padma Karpo School since 2017, and it has been both an honour and a blessing.

Through them, I’ve learned resilience, kindness, and the beauty of learning together. Serving in this sacred institution, under the guidance of His Holiness Gyalwang Drukpa and His Eminence Thuksay Rinpochey, is a privilege.
