This year the school has selected Annual Day Theme – “Viksit Bharat@2047 “which envisions a prosperous, inclusive, and self-reliant India by the year 2047, marking 100 years of independence. Rightly said,” A developed India is not a distant dream but a reality we are building together.” This theme emphasizes innovation, sustainability, and socio-economic development, urging the youth to contribute to the nation’s progress. It is a call to empower the next generation to shape a future that reflects growth, unity, and global leadership, This vision guides our educational efforts with a sense of responsibility and pride in creating a vibrant, strong India.
We have achieved significant milestones, yet the horizon is filled with opportunities for even greater accomplishments. “JVM Ratnagiri began its journey in 2010 with just 12 teachers, 80 students, and a total of 6 classes, which included Pre-Primary and Primary sections. With the blessings of the Almighty, the school has grown exponentially over the years. Despite the challenges posed by the region’s low population density, JVM Ratnagiri has expanded its faculty to 36 teachers, its student base to 607, and the number of classes to 27. This expansion includes the addition of Middle School, Secondary, and Senior Secondary sections, marking a significant milestone in the school’s development.
“At JVM Ratnagiri, we are dedicated to shaping young minds into confident, well-rounded individuals with strong values. Our focus is on participation, encouragement, and the development of skills and moral values, rather than competition. This report highlights our sincere efforts of progress and achievements throughout the year. In a rapidly changing world, we aim to equip students with the ability to adapt, innovate, and excel, inspiring them to embrace challenges and turn opportunities into success as we believe the future belongs to those who are ready to learn and grow.
