Sub: Message of Commissioner KVS for parents/students
Madam/Sir,
As you are aware, we are going through uncertain and unpredictable times at present due to the Covid-19
pandemic. It is heartening that our schools have geared up and are trying their best to ensure continuum in
education. However, it is imperative that the interest of the students and parents in online education needs to be
sustained and also their morale kept up in these testing times.
Commissioner, KVS has a special personal message to be sent to each student and each parent of all the KVs
in this regard. Copies of the two letters are enclosed for onward transmission to the students and parents.
Parents of students of Primary Classes ( II to V)
Students of Classes VI to XII
Dear students
We hope you and your family are safe and dealing with the current global pandemic in the best
possible manner.
Indeed the situation we find ourselves in is unprecedented and has posed before all unforeseen
challenges.
You cannot go out, get together with friends is ruled out, the schools are closed and
at your age staying indoors and remaining confined within the four walls of your homes is surely
not easy. However you must have realised the invincible power of the human spirit that readily
adapts to any change and constantly innovates to make life better.
Launching online classes is
one such effort in the field of school education. It is heartening to note the smooth transition you
have made to digital learning.
It is expected that you keep yourself abreast with the changes CBSE has made in the syllabus.
You must also be attuned to the alternate academic calendar, NCERT has designed for the
students in order to help them tide through these critical times. Stay in touch with your teachers
for guidance. Every student is accountable now for his studies and his academic progress. We
are all there with you, literally just a phone call or an email away. All Kendriya Vidyalayas have an
email id, solely dedicated to online counselling. You can reach out to us with any query you might
have on academic transaction.
"If you can't go out, go within."
This is current age mantra. Practice yoga, take time out for
meditation, read books that give you food for thought and connect with your inner self. Use this
time to talk to your parents, grandparents and other relatives. You will be amazed to discover in
them a profound wisdom and some lessons for life that no book can ever teach you.
The triumph of humanity lies in transforming problems into opportunities.
You are at the threshold
of a global overhaul. The new developments happening around are opening up fresh avenues
and newer opportunities. Grab them with both your hands and let your full potential be unleashed.
Remember tough times don't last, tough people do.
Keep yourselves motivated, stay connected
with one another through digital platform, make a schedule for studies that you must sincerely
follow and channelise your mind in fruitful creative activities.

Dear parents
We trust you and your family are safe and keeping good health.
The Covid 19 pandemic has affected people all over the world in unthinkable ways. The
education system has undergone a considerable change and online classes have been
introduced in schools to ensure the academic progress of our children does in no way get
hampered. We are happy at the enthusiastic response we have received from you and the
effortless transition our children have made to this new digital system of teaching- learning
process.
The children at the primary level need extra care and personal attention. Both the teachers
and the parents have a crucial role to play in orienting the children to this new style of
learning. This calls for a pro active coordination between the teachers and the parents.
Our
teachers are well equipped to transact the content effectively in this stipulated time . We look
forward to you playing a bigger role once the screen is turned off. Every Kendriya Vidyalaya
has an email id, exclusively for online counselling. You can reach out to the teachers, discuss
with them the lessons, get ideas on how to make learning joyous and how to organise
activities that make learning both conceptual and fun. Let us have a stronger parent - teacher
network in order to help our children learn effectively.
You must be aware that NCERT has developed an alternative academic calendar for
maintaining the continuity of learning. Let us explore this well researched document which
aims at facilitating learning at home through innovative and interesting activities.
Moreover, dear parents, you would agree that education is not merely confined to textbooks
and syllabus. There is a wide gamut of wisdom waiting to be discovered by our children
beyond the pages of their books.
We are sure you would spend quality time with the precious
little ones, talk to them about your experiences of life, narrate to them stories, indulge them in
simple yogic exercises, inspire them to pursue their hobbies of drawing, painting, reading and
singing,etc., listen to them with compassion and join them in their wild creative pursuits.
We look forward to your co-operation in this regard.
Stay safe, healthy and happy.
Vipin Kumar,
I.A.S.
Commissioner
