Dr. Atul Nishchal, Founder, International Council for School Leadership (ICSL), New Delhi made a brief presentation on the topic, “Leadership skills for Principals”. He promised to extend his best support to Jammu Sahodaya and Jammu schools, as his roots are from Jammu. The board of ICSL, empowered by several eminent personalities, is known for transforming schools into Institutions.
He promised to offer various ICSL-run programmes free of cost to all the Army Public Schools of the region as well as to those State Board schools, which are extremely promising and recommended by Jammu Sahodaya. He gifted a Coffee Table book titled “Lead the Change” to every Principal present on the occasion.
12. Open House for discussion/ debate/ brain storm:
Dr. Deep Khare, Principal, Jodhamal Public School, Jammu drew the attention of the august House towards CBSE circulars, pouring in almost everyday. He requested the members of Executive committee & fellow Principals to make posting on the Sahodaya Official/ Family Group with a line on the top in bold letters “MOST URGENT”, so that any important time-bound Circular from the CBSE shouldn’t be overlooked. The Executive Committee members took a note of it.
13. Discussion over Venue/date for the next GBM:
Since the member Principals were not prepared on this matter without seeking a prior consent from their Management, so it was decided to share the proposal on the WhatsApp group.

In the absence of any other matter to be deliberated upon, Ms. Ranju Malhotra, Secretary (Media & Info), JSSC & Principal, DBN Vidya Mandir, Amarvilla, Jammu proposed the vote of thanks and expressed gratitude on behalf of Jammu Sahodaya to the mentors, KCS Mehta, Mrs. Vijay Puri & Dr. Pramod Srivastava for their humongous support and incessant guidance to the Team JSSC.

She appreciated the commendable gesture of Dr. Atul Nishchal, Founder ICSL, for taking the initiative of empowering Jammu Schools on account of his old moorings with the “City of Temples” & gifting the Coffee Table book to each edu-leader present over there.
