Abstract
1982 : A typical school day at Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV).
The day begins with just the same last minute scuffle
for signing the attendance register and collecting class
registers. You stand by and watch while the teachers hurry
on to class and then to the assembly. Somebody side tracks
you with an application for leave. The Activities In Charge
gives you input on the day’s events. Assembly over; talk
to latecomers, observe classes, teach, attend to parents,
office matters, planning for functions, exams, parent teacher meetings. There were days when life was peaceful - and schools, happy places. Principal and teachers collaborated in capacity building measures for the school, self and students.School improvement was the joint responsibility of the staff.What was the role of the Principal? Not beyond being a manager.
