About Us<br />
Sister Nivedita Educational Complex was founded in 1968 by Shri Gulabbhai Jani and Smt. Ushaben Jani.<br />
Ushaben and Gulabbhai Jani were Professors of Economics in a college affiliated to Saurashtra University<br />
in 1967. As part of the celebrations of the birth centenary of Sister Nivedita, they arranged few lectures<br />
and programs in the college. Swami Atmasthanandji, the then President of Ramkrishna Ashram, Rajkot<br />
was quite impressed by their work. Swami Atmasthanandji asked them to carry out the same activities<br />
at the school level as well. Inspired by him, Shri Gulabbhai and Smt. Ushaben opened a small K.G. school<br />
in the name of Sister Nivedita in 1968 and thus Sister Nivedita Educational Complex (<strong>SNEC</strong>) came into<br />
existence.<br />
The aim of <strong>SNEC</strong> is to provide quality education to all. We aim to challenge the conventional "teacherto-student"<br />
or one-way method of teaching, giving way to active involvement of the students in the<br />
learning process through group workshops, activities and interactive sessions. Our effort is directed to<br />
encourage self-learning, while developing the mind, body and spirit.<br />
After one year of activities of Sister Nivedita Educational Complex, parents and guardians of the<br />
students approached and persuaded us to start primary school and a year later to start High School and<br />
Higher Secondary School. Brick by brick, <strong>SNEC</strong> was built and today it indeed stands as a huge educational<br />
complex with a number of sister institutes and activities as a part of it.<br />
Vision<br />
Our vision is for an inclusive, empowered, happy, stress free and enlightened world, in which we all live<br />
in harmony with values, integrity and civic sense believing in freedom of expression and respect for all.<br />
Mission<br />
In partnership with our community, we will ensure that each student acquires the knowledge, skills and<br />
strategies, necessary to reach his or her full potential, and become a good, productive and responsible<br />
citizen.<br />
FOUNDERS’ NOTE<br />
The aim of education is to produce a good human being, a good citizen, a good art appreciator and an<br />
original thinker.<br />
We believe that all children are potentially divine and can and will learn in a positive and nurturing<br />
environment. We understand that teaching and learning require a state of readiness and a sense of<br />
timing. Students need to be exposed to a range of teaching and learning styles so that they come to<br />
recognize and seek their own best learning situation. Our greatest challenge is to help our students learn<br />
how to achieve their highest academic potential, to be confident in their own abilities and to use those<br />
abilities responsibly.
