Mrs. Revathi Srinivasan – Principal of Smt. Sulochanadevi Singhania School , and ISA Coordinator.

As an ISA Coordinator the activities were proposed, planned and executed with her team of 280 staff members with earnest zeal and enthusiasm.

Each academic year is planned with a theme and all activities are based on the theme. In April 2005, the themes chosen were tolerance, World Peace and Bonding. Hence the programmes were not aimed at the ISA only. All events and activities were designed to be a part of the curriculum so that the linkages could be established, which would make learning not only simple but also meaningful. The international flavour to each of the activities helped children to know about people, places and lifestyles. Children also learnt to share their own experiences with others through talks and presentations. The whole school was involved in some international activity, to make the project comprehensive and global.
