My name is G.R. Sivakumar (GillaGowder Raman Sivakumar) and I have been a Schoolmaster in schools all over India (East, West and South) for nearly three decades. I have also been in Administrative and Leadership positions in Schools for many of these years, being the Founding Principal of Delhi Public School Surat, Gujarat in India. Later I was the Mentor and Director of Nalanda Education Society that runs Delhi Public School Surat and Delhi Public School Tapi and also as an Educational Consultant, Mentoring Schools to achieve their best. (If you want to know more about me click here…). Currently I have taken up since 1st of August 2019, the assignment of the Principal of Tapti Valley International School at Surat.
This blog is my space to share my thoughts as well as interests on the many facets of life. I intend to share my hobbies and interests (which are wide-ranging) and mainly my thoughts on issues that confront us on a day-to-day basis. One of these areas is Education which is my domain of expertise. These issues are not just issues related to India but to every Human being. Other than sharing my opinions and interests I also claim my right to occasionally grumble about the issues I am unable to do anything about. However, this is not intended as a site for your personal grumbling or complaints about the institutions that I am associated with or about issues that you may have with these Schools. This blog is also meant to be a forum for discussion of ideas for India moving forward and in time I hope these ideas will help all of us, learners, teachers, parents, men, women, young, old …. I welcome people from all walks of life from all nationalities to join me and hope this blog will grow with time.
