CHANDIGARH: From the playground to the classroom, Chandigarh’s government schools are witnessing a golden transformation. By embracing the core Olympic values of respect, excellence, and friendship, the Olympic Values Education Program (OVEP) is reshaping young minds across 108 schools, facilitated by the Abhinav Bindra Foundation Trust. It’s not just about winning medals; it’s about winning at life and with the expertise of the Abhinav Bindra Foundation Trust, it is fostering a new generation of resilient, respectful, and well-rounded students across 108 government schools.
The Olympic Values Education Programme (OVEP) is being actively implemented across government schools in Chandigarh, bringing a meaningful transformation in the way students learn and engage themselves.
Focused on the core values of Respect, Excellence, and Friendship, OVEP aims to nurture well-rounded individuals by integrating values into everyday school experiences. The programme is being effectively facilitated by the Abhinav Bindra Foundation Trust, which is currently covering 108 government schools in Chandigarh.
Teachers are incorporating OVEP into their daily teaching practices, ensuring that values are not just taught but also demonstrated through behaviour. Students are enthusiastically taking part in various activities that promote teamwork, discipline, and mutual respect.
Nitish Singla, PCS, Director School Education, Chandigarh Administration, said, "OVEP is helping us build classrooms where values are lived every day. When students learn respect, excellence and friendship through sports, culture and academics, they carry these life skills beyond school. The enthusiasm of our teachers and students shows that Chandigarh is ready to lead by example in value based education."
