– Deepitha K R, Director, M S Dhoni Global School
In a world driven by materialism and self-interest, M S Dhoni Global School stands out as a beacon of hope. Here, education transcends academics. Students are empowered to become active stewards of change through a deeply ingrained culture of community service. Inspired by the unwavering dedication of our founder, Mr. Chandrasekar, to social responsibility, the school fosters empathy and a commitment to ‘giving back’ in its students.
Social responsibility isn’t a discrete concept at M S Dhoni Global School. It’s a cornerstone of the school experience. Students aren’t just passive observers; they’re active participants in initiatives that directly impact their communities. Witnessing the impact of their efforts first-hand fosters a deep sense of social responsibility.
One such initiative involved supporting the construction of new classrooms for Zuzuwadi Govt. Matric School, Hosur. What started as a plan to sponsor a single classroom blossomed into something far greater. Recognising the dire circumstances of the government school, M S Dhoni Global School, under the leadership of Mr. Chandrasekar and Mr. Vineeth Chandrasekar, took on the responsibility of constructing the entire wing. This act of generosity transcended mere infrastructure; it embodied the spirit of community and paying it forward.
The school’s commitment to service extends far beyond its own campus. Students actively participate in community service endeavours in nearby villages near Bargur, Krishnagiri District. From providing food and clothing to tribal communities to organising donation drives, students witness the power of collective action in addressing local needs. These experiences not only cultivate empathy and compassion but also highlight the importance of social responsibility in shaping a better future.
M S Dhoni Global School understands that true societal progress hinges on ensuring equal access to quality education. Students are actively involved in initiatives that bridge the educational divide. Drives to distribute laptops and textbooks ensure that underprivileged students have the resources they need to succeed. Through participation in such activities, students develop a sense of solidarity and understand the transformative power of education.
M S Dhoni Global School’s dedication to community service isn’t a recent development. The school boasts a long and rich history of supporting underprivileged schools. Students have been instrumental in setting up libraries, supplying essential learning materials like books and notebooks, and equipping computer labs in these schools. This legacy of service serves as a constant source of inspiration, reminding future generations of their responsibility to contribute to the betterment of society.
Going a step further, students actively engaged in mentoring and coaching their peers from the neighbouring communities, focusing on fundamental concepts of robotics and honing their programming skills. This initiative was thoughtfully organised as part of the ATL Community Day festivities held at the school campus in honour of Dr. Ambedkar’s birthday. Notably, students from Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) Access Residential School, Gollapalli and Kingsley Garden Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Bargur enthusiastically participated, reaping the benefits of this collaborative endeavour. The session culminated with a lively DJ session, providing both educational enrichment and entertainment. Through this initiative, the school successfully achieved its aim of imparting knowledge and skills to students from underprivileged backgrounds, ensuring that they had a fulfilling learning experience while also enjoying themselves.
By actively participating in community service, M S Dhoni Global School students gain invaluable life lessons. They witness first-hand the impact of their actions, fostering empathy, compassion, and a deep sense of social responsibility. These experiences shape them into well-rounded individuals who are more likely to become active contributors to their communities and the world at large.
M S Dhoni Global School embodies the belief that even young minds can be powerful agents of change. Through their dedication to community service, students become role models for their peers and future generations. Their acts of kindness create a ripple effect, leaving a lasting positive impact on the world around them.
