Minutes of the meeting of AAMNA on 19^th January 2014

The followings are the ideas and concerns raised, propsed, and advised by ALUMNI

1. Continuity of traditions by students in school, unbecoming for a Navodayan:

During the meeting it was brought to the notice that students have been, on various occasions, resorting to the practices which are against the spirit of Navodaya system and also precariously unsuitable in so far as their career objectives are concerned.  All the stakeholders of the school viz. the Administration, Parents, students alongwith alumni should have a serious look into it.

2. Lack of provision for “Non-vegetarian” foods in the mess of the school- Need to find basic reason for it !!

3. Shortage of various resources in the school premises- Listing to be done in consultation with Teachers and Students.

4. To ensure mixing and harmony of different Batches in the dormitory under the “house system” as existed earlier:- There have been reports of increasing “divide” between juniors & seniors in the school, hence endangering cohesiveness among Navodayans.  Proper system should be in place to mitigate/overcome this issue.

5. Decision for convening annual “meeting” of AAMNA  at JNVRM, to be taken after having discussion with the Principal. Considered date is 25 th December every year.

6. The Chief Guest exhorted the alumni to visit the school on regular basis and try to inculcate the culture/traditions which are losing its value with the passes of time.

7. The motive behind establishing JNV was to provide resources to “poor talented students”. The Chief Guest advised the Alumni to think over adopting poor talented students once they complete senior secondary education from the JNV.

8. Each member of Alumni association may contribute to the Navodaya in his own way.

Following alumni voluntarily offered their prospective services as WORKING GROUP of AAMNA
