It is said that an organization without any innovation & experimentation by its
functionaries becomes a static organization and its growth and development is retardedin the long run.
Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan is considered as a pace setting institution in thefield of school education and hence to improve the system and to add to the value interms of branding and excellence, teachers must focus on implementing creative ideas in
the school and class room situation.
To improve upon the participation of teachers in this scheme, you are requested
to give wide publicity among all the Kendriya Vidyalayas/teachers to take up innovative
projects to solve the various problems pertaining to teaching-learning process and other
areas in the class room situation. The Principals should also be instructed to identify
some innovative action research projects based on recommendations made in the
subject committee meetings held in the Kendriya Vidyalayas. The Innovation andexperimentation scheme is also to be made one of the integral components in in-servicecourses organized at cluster and regional level.
It is reiterated that the desired interest has been found lacking so far asIn vations and experimentations in Kendriya Vidyalayas are concerned.
It has, therefore, been decided to reinforce innovations in Kendriya Vidyalayasthrough innovation awards.
The salient features of the scheme are as under:
