From the Chairman
We remember our school days when we were given a project - ‘Each One Teach One’. A simple
initiative that made the students take the role of teachers for those ‘chosen few’ who did not even dream
of ‘school education’. It is surprising to hear that a lot of kids who got initiated into reading and writing
pursued education from open schooling etc., and grew up doing well in life. This is a simple example of
‘Community Outreach’.
The term ‘Community Outreach’ can be interpreted in a number of ways depending on the need,
requirement and modes of providing the outreach. According to me the Community Outreach can be simply
explained as an event or program that benefits a specific community/population. It can be any activity that
brings the work, experience, knowledge, information, innovations of the institutions/organizations out into
the community, the nation or the world. And when we talk of a Community Outreach programme in the
field of education, it involves students, teachers, schools, academic institutions, educationists, academicians,
society and most importantly, the outreach audience.
The Community Outreach can take on many forms like service to others, teaching and taking up
various community concerns. Outreach projects commonly take place in settings outside of the school/
institution that directly or indirectly benefit community partners. Management, faculty and student
engagement with community audiences and partners in both formal and informal settings are the types
of activities that are most commonly associated with outreach. It describes all projects, assignments,
workshops etc., which are offered outside the regular premises. On the other hand teaching the students
weaving, handcrafts, traditional arts, crafts, painting and other folk arts etc. to the young generation so
that these ancient art forms do not die out, can be categorized as Community Outreach too.
Continuing with its efforts in the area of ‘Values Education’, the CBSE is bringing out a Values
Education Kit (VEK) that contains Values Education: A Handbook for Teachers, Values Cards and a CD of
songs symbolising values of peace, harmony and respect for nature that can help in bringing education
for values in schools. We all know that this is not something new. Teachers everywhere are attempting
this in their own way. What is required at this stage is to review all possible strategies which could lead
to a comprehensive approach. In the Class X and XII exams 3-5 marks in each of the core subjects will
be allotted for ‘Values Education’ in the form of Values Based Questions. The idea is to prepare and nurture
students to live in a multilingual, multicultural, and multi-religious country.
It is believed that heritage education is important for a child’s understanding of the beliefs, values,
history and socio-cultural context and it should not be confined to the study of physical survivals only. In
this context CBSE has recently extended its horizon in the field of education with the incorporation of
Heritage Education Programme in schools. The main initiatives under the programme are inter-school
Heritage India Quiz, initiating Heritage Walks, annual celebration of World Heritage Day on 12th January,
April-June 2012 3
Adopt a Monument Programme, functioning of Heritage school clubs and conducting cultural events to
enrich every learner’s overall experience.
The Board has also initiated a micro site on Heritage Education at www.heritage.cbseacademic.in
which will help teachers to explore, learn and empower their students with local heritage and connect
them to National and World Heritage Sites.
The country would be celebrating the 150th Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda on 12th
January 2013. It has been decided to commemorate the event in the schools affiliated to the Board so that
the teachers, students and various stakeholders can understand the life, philosophy and teachings of this
great reformer.
In order to excel at a job, a sport or any discipline, a person must acquire and master certain skills.
Living a healthy, accomplished and productive life is no different. Taking the lead, CBSE has introduced
Life Skills Education as an integral part of the curriculum to inculcate self awareness, empathy and critical
thinking skills among young learners. In this context, the first International Life Skills, School Health and
Wellbeing Summit, 2012 was held between 19 and 21 April 2012 at the India Islamic Cultural Centre,
New Delhi. A soft launch of the CBSE Academic website was also done by the Honourable Minister of
Human Resource Development during the summit. The website provides an insight not only into the
academic activities which otherwise might not be easily accessible to all. It is a sincere effort from the
CBSE Academics and Training Unit and aesthetic and visual appeal, navigation and accessibility are the
major focus points that were kept in mind while designing and developing this website.
The CBSE honours 15 mentors and 32 teachers from across the country on the eve of the Teachers’
Day for their innovation and contribution in the field of education. Introduced for the first time, the
Mentor Award is being given for efforts to promote Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE).
The Mentors are identified by the CBSE, who helped schools implement CCE effectively. Keeping in
line with CCE and the other Examination Reforms, the CBSE has decided to discontinue the practice
of providing a Blue print, Sample Question papers and Marking Schemes in classes IX and X w.e.f. the
Summative Assessment II of 2012-13.
The Board has been propagating life skills, health, hygiene and sanitation, disaster management,
vocational education, environmental education, values education etc., which are intrinsic to reaching out to
the community, nation and the world. The Community Outreach also creates awareness among children,
develop life skills and train the young growing minds to look beyond academic and global boundaries.

Respected Sir,
This letter is with reference to the implementation of CCE.
At the outset, I would like to express my heartiest appreciation for the implementation of CCE. This
is a wonderful system, exactly equivalent to traditional 'Gurukula' system which nurtures child’s original
thinking by giving them diverse experiences. Due to globalization and modernization, the imperative
values of yesteryears have taken a backseat and are getting eroded from our education system. CBSE
has made the informal agencies of education like family, school and society to realize the explosiveness
of the modern education. This system will create the best human beings in this world and no doubt they
deserve the best from the world.
We are seeing the effect of this system in our school for the past two years, which is making the child
free of fear and anxiety and helping the child to express his or her views freely.
Through Chinmaya Mission, Swami Chinmayananda’s Vision on Education includes physical
development, mental development, intellectual development, spiritual development, Indian culture, patriotism
and universal outlook. This approach of the Board helps us in strengthening and implementing our vision and
ensuring quality in all the aspects of child development.
Thanking you,
Swami Ramakrishnanana

Respected Sir,

complete team of CBSE for taking up the challenging task of RTE and I appreciate the way the implementation
process is going on.

We have been successful in implementing CCE effectively in our school and are looking forward to
the new innovations CBSE makes in this regard. I must appreciate research and development work put by
you and your team.
Thanking you

Respected Sir,
In continuation with the CBSE guidelines on CCE and its vision of robust and holistic school education
Shanti Niketan Public School (SNPS) moved a pace ahead by fixing the last period of school as an Activity
period where various activities are carried out.
The idea is to provide a platform to the children so that they develop social skills and get them an
opportunity to check out the wilderness while having fun.
To further boost the morale of our teachers and students, we hope that you will provide a little land on
your esteemed CENBOSEC for us to bloom.
Thanking you,

Respected Sir,
I want to congratulate you on one more milestone of CBSE, that is the new website : www.academics.
nic.in. It will help us in different ways by providing us uptodate knowledge of every academic solution we
require for our students and teachers. Once again I congratulate you and the entire team of CBSE on this
new milestone.
