Sukanta Smriti GSFP School has started its journey way back in 1983 by Smt. Dipti Roy Chowdhury who later became the head mistress of the school. She, with the help of the then Member of Parliament of Barrackpore, made it possible to have a pucca building for the school. Presently the school has electric connection, tap water facility, separate toilet for boys/ girls/ staff. It is a Bengali-medium School but it’s pretty amazing that it thrives with excellence even on present days when we have to continuously stand in neck-and-neck competition with the emerging English-medium schools in the neighbourhood. Still we manage to put our feet above water with dedication, hard work and a great passion for imparting value education and creating holistic growth among our students.

All of us who are associated with this temple of education in different capacities are united by the altruistic doctrine of humanism. As the helmsman of this Alma Mater, I feel myself blessed since all teachers are marked by their sincerity, readiness and loyalty to any work provided. Students are consecrated with the principles of discipline and obedience. A teacher is successful only when his students outshine him. So, every year when our students perform excellently well, it fills my heart with joy unspeakable. I always remember Albert Einstein’s pedagogical theory that a teacher should not teach but provide conditions for students to learn. I motivate the teachers to strive to do so. Teachers here always inspire students towards co-curricular activities alongside classroom learning.

Our school precincts are clean and tidy.  The school runs a successful midday meal programme. Plantation programmes are undertaken every year. Independence Day, Teachers’ Day and annual sports day are celebrated with sanctity. Students are encouraged for cultural activities on regular basis.

Our teachers maintain a very friendly relationship with students. They take due care for management of students’ emotional crisis by teaching them how to accept failures since failures are inevitable to the road of success. I wish to tell my beloved students that failure is nothing but learning another way that doesn’t work and the only mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

As a teacher above all, I have always believed in the truth of the maxim, “in learning, you’ll teach and in teaching, you’ll learn.” So, we try to learn from our professional mistakes and become more and more responsible to serve better.

I wish the family of Sukanta Smriti GSFP School a glorious future ahead.

Sincerely,

Partha Pratim Dutta
