ABRSM – An Organisation to safegaurd our Education Sector

New Office Bearers for ABRSM for 2009 to 2011 Period.

ABRSM, Short form for Akhil Bhartiya Rashtriya Shaikshik Maha Sangh is a National Teachers Organisation, for teachers from Primary to University level. This is a single organisation, for all teachers, which is the result of the works of personalities like Mananiya Kulkarni ji and others for last twenty years. The Structure of the Shaikshik Maha Sangh is as follows.

ABRSM has four Wings. Primary Wing, Secondary Wing, Higher Wing and a Mahila Wing. The Organising Secretary, who is a Pracharak, is for all alike. The President, General Secretary and Additional Secretary are for all wings alike. Then for each wing, there is a Vice President, Secretary and a Joint Secretary. Recently, a Pracharak has been assigned exclusively for higher wing. Apart from this, a Pracharak is Organising Secretary exclusively for the South Zone too. The Central Office is at Delhi, Maujhpur, ABRSM’s own three storied building.

ABRSM stands for three principles. 1) Education for Nation Building,
2) Teachers for National Education, and
3) Society for Teachers.

Cultural and Value Education is not an attempt to go back to the past blindly: on the contrary, it is an on going and constant effort to re-invent and re-create what is handed down from the past in the context of any new and changing situation, time and space. Such re-invention and re-creation shall be an ongoing process given dynamism of society, given new contexts of space and time, changing from time to time, but always keeping the archetype constant, solid as well as guiding. Presently, ABRSM is concerned with many challenges of invasions into Indian Culture, through Syllabuses, mutilations of history and the like.

The same structure goes down to the States, and Districts, in the same manner, although it assumes different names in different states, for example, in Kerala it is “Unnatha Vidyabhayasa Adhayapaka Sangham for the Higher Wing, and NTU (National Teachers Union) for the lower and secondary wing.
