Chandra Sekhar Academy-チャンドラ・セカール・アカデミー

Our Story...

Chandra Sekhar Academy conceived at the out-skirts of Puri in a quiet academic ambience about 12 kms off from the madding crowds of the township on Puri-Konark Marine Drive Road at Balighai in the year 2004. The school surrounded by rural habitation has no such nearby English medium school to look after or to cater an international curricula & so the school came into being to make the rural children avail this CBSE curricula hassle free at an affordable rate. Besides regular CBSE curricula, Japanese language and culture has been taught as an elective subject from Nursery to Senior Secondary (+2)level. This is the only CBSE school in Odisha which nurtures Japanese language & culture with utmost precision and neatness along with its regular CBSE course. Adding another colourful feather into its cap on 6th April 2018 the school opened its international branch in Kyoto, the former capital & the temple city of Japan. There were no such Indian based English medium school in Kansai region, western Japan. So the school was made for the children of Indian & its peripheral expats staying in western Japan and for those who have left their families in respective natives without having an affordable school here. It upheld the proud legacy of becoming the first ever Indian based English medium school in Kansai region, western Japan. Looking into the career prospect of our +2 students we thought it wise to make them avail an IT career as India is recognised more for its IT in Japan and the school is already having its basement of Japanese language & culture. So it followed with an unanimous decision and an IT training centre (TICSA) has been opened inside the premises of the parent school 13th Oct 2019 . Along with various other computer courses O-level & A-level NIELIT course has been imparted approved by the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, Govt. Many countries of the world especially Japanese companies in India & Japan desirous of recruiting them after completion of A-level & it has been made the only centre in the country where A-level is supported by Japanese language & culture for its in-depth facilitation. A state-of-the-art Japanese language training centre has been opened separately for higher Masters & PhD studies in Japan or job oriented professional courses having skill based language training & expertise. The school has been made available under ‘one roof campus ‘ to take care of the prospective youths of the township as well as the state along with the surrounding villages and hamlets like Baliguali, Beladala, Chaitana, Dalanai, Bhuan, Bangara etc. encircling the school to have this rare privilege of sending their children to this school and thereby not only educate them with CBSE curricula but also extending support to choose their livelihood as well. Over more than a decade & half of its edu-service to the township and its suburbs made the school stand majestic in a lush-green, eco-friendly environment to chant its hymn of success exchanging culture & education and thereby setting up a bridge between the two countries. The school is not only popular for catering education to the rural community of Odisha but also popular in far off Japan for its relentless service to make students learn Japanese language & culture and thereby bridge up the communication gap between Japan & India at grass-root level. So, every year students of different Universities of Japan under internship step into join with the students of this school to exchange their language, culture, habitat etc. with them and also on a reciprocal gesture show their interest for Odishan language, culture and life-style. Besides student exchange program different traditional folk artists of Japan organize a stage-show here every year where Japanese & Odishan artists join together to share each other’s music, tune, dance-form etc. to commemorate their solidarity & brotherhood. With their invitation many artists from Odisha have been to Japan to perform their exquisite art-form amid greetings, cheers and accolades. The school stands testimony to its proud legacy & rich heritage. Curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are precisely performed here to train young minds with utmost precision & neatness. This is the only school in India which has been privileged to participate in two of the mega international projects of Japan namely ‘Kokorozashi Art Project’ and ‘The Biggest painting in the world 2020’. In Kokorozashi Art Project students have to write a line or two on a piece of cloth about their feeling towards attaining world peace and in The Biggest painting in the world 2020 they would have to depict their artistic maneuver drawing pictures of their culture, religion , habitat etc. towards solidarity and respect while attaining world peace. Kokorozashi signifies your desire to serve humanity and the planet we live in volunteering something good to somebody else without any bias or prejudice. These wishes and art-works are collected from more than two hundred countries and one thousand five hundred cities of Japan to be sewn together and displayed in Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Since the school has been putting efforts on grooming Japanese language and culture for last several years, the govt. of Japan being pleased with its service and sincerity selected three numbers of students & a teacher to visit Japan under Jenesys program. The govt. of Japan provided funds and also undertook to & fro travel, planning, and operating invitation program including travel arrangements in Japan. The whole schedule of events in Japan for eight days was furnished under the guidance of Japanese govt. This awesome visit overwhelmed the students & teachers while narrating their cup of joys before print and electronic media. Similarly, getting pleased , Govt. of Japan organised 3 days Japanese Film Festival 2019 in the cultural hub Puri, Odisha which normally made in mega cities found spreading across grass-root ethics of Indo-Japan cultural amity amid fiesta, funfair & fervour. At our international branch we wish to develop the children from India and its peripheral countries & to nurture them into intellectuals who love both culture of their origins & Japan, and who have courtesy. We also introduce Indian culture and Yoga in our morning assembly for the welfare and well being of the children. The ideals of parent school are transmitted through students & teachers exchange program as well to expedite the process of building a bridge between India & Japan.

◆チャンドラ・セカール・アカデミーについて
2004年設立、英語教育を取り入れた(CBSEカリキュラム)学校。英語の他に、ヒンディ語、オリヤ語、そして日本語教育と日本文化、日本のマナーを教えることにも力をいれています。学校は、プリーから世界遺産スーリヤ寺院があるコナーラクに行く途中１２キロのところの大自然に恵まれた場所にあり、ヨガなども教えています。

特徴： 日本からのスタディツアーやインターシップ、ボランティアを多く受け入れていることで、日常的に様々な分野における日本の方（大学生・社会人・音楽家・芸術家など）とのコミュニケーションがあることが、最大の特徴といえます。また礼儀正しく穏やかな日本の方に触れ合うなかで、日本への憧れを持つ生徒達が多いです。その他、インド４大聖地のひとつで京都祇園祭の由来ともいわれる巨大な山車祭り『ラタ・ヤットラ』が開催されることで、世界的にも有名なプリー市には1952年から続く有名な日本語が通じる日本人のための宿泊場所があり、観光の他にもインド文化であるヨガ・インド楽器・言語などを学ぶ多くの方が訪れます。学校はプリー市に近いことから、音楽・芸術の分野で活躍される日本のアーティストの方なども訪問され、イベントや授業を通じて交流を深めていただいています。このような人的交流が多いことから将来、日本への留学や日系企業へ就職するに際に最適の場所といえます。
