MEETING CHALLENGES HEAD ON is not just a book. It is the journey of an individual, a team, and society, through a year that was unlike any other in our lives. It is about the challenges faced by schools all over India - illustrated by the way they were met by one particular school. This book is my tribute to the teaching community and their contribution to the social, emotional, and educational fare of society. Translated to life it is about building a positive attitude in life to overcome any obstacle, being proactive and breaking barriers of laid down responsibilities, walking that extra mile, and becoming torchbearers.
