Nurturing excellence, inspiring growth–Aster Institutions

New Delhi [India], September 26: Aster Institutions have established themselves as a symbol of academic brilliance, innovation, and holistic development in the Indian educational sphere. Guided by a vision to empower young minds and prepare them for a bright and dynamic future, the institution blends the wisdom of traditional values with the strength of modern education, shaping leaders, achievers, and changemakers of tomorrow.

Founded in 1994 by Dr. V. K. Sharma, B. Com (Hons.), LLM, Ph.D., a visionary educationist with a deep passion for nurturing talent, Aster began its journey as a single school with the dream of making education a life-enriching experience. Over the decades, that dream has flourished into a network of premier institutions celebrated for academic rigor, cultural vibrancy, and strong moral foundations. With branches across Knowledge Park-1, Delta-2, Sector-03, and Knowledge Park-5 in Greater Noida; Mayur Vihar Phase-1 in New Delhi; and Vesu, Surat in Gujarat, Aster has expanded its reach while maintaining consistent excellence in every location. The institution’s outstanding academic results, innovative teaching methods, and student-first approach have earned the trust of parents and the admiration of the education community across the country.

Every corner of an Aster campus is designed to inspire. Teachers are equipped with modern teaching tools that make learning engaging and dynamic. Libraries offer a wealth of books, journals, and digital resources that encourage curiosity and independent research. Advanced laboratories for physics, chemistry, and biology bring theory to life through experimentation, while high-tech computer labs ensure students remain in touch with the latest technological advancements. Sporting facilities, including cricket pitches, basketball courts, tennis and badminton courts, athletics tracks, and even a state-of-the-art shooting range, provide students with opportunities to train and excel in diverse disciplines. Professional coaching and a focus on sports excellence have led to remarkable achievements, with Aster students representing India in international cricket and football tournaments, bringing pride to the nation and the institution. Creative expression also thrives in dedicated studios for music, dance, drama, and fine arts.

Beyond academics, Aster focuses on developing character, creativity, and confidence. Its curriculum incorporates life skills, value education, and leadership training, while diverse clubs such as robotics, debate, environment, and entrepreneurship provide opportunities for students to explore their passions. Students regularly participate in national and international competitions, broadening their horizons and building resilience. The institution also instils a strong sense of social responsibility through community outreach initiatives, environmental drives, and charitable programs, encouraging students to become compassionate and responsible citizens.

At the heart of Aster’s success is a team of dedicated, highly qualified educators who serve not only as teachers but also as mentors and guides. Through continuous professional development and personalized attention, they ensure that every child’s potential is recognized, nurtured, and celebrated.

As Aster Institutions look ahead, their commitment remains steadfast: to inspire excellence, empower young minds, and contribute to shaping a better tomorrow. With a proud legacy built on trust, achievement, and innovation since 1994, Aster continues its mission with passion and purpose, ensuring that every student receives the very best education and the opportunity to shine.

Planting seeds of change: Project Sahayata Takes Strides Towards SDG Goal 6

Planting seeds of change: Project Sahayata Takes Strides Towards SDG Goal 6

Project Sahayata was launched in March 2023 by high schoolers Samaira Mohunta, Kavin Sharma, Shiv Chauhan, Nitya Rathi, Miheeka Bagla, and Vaasavi Daga with the aim of uplifting the infrastructure and amenities available in under-resourced schools in Gurugram under NGO Parvaah.

The inaugural phase of Project Sahayata witnessed the installation of 10 water purifiers and 10 cold water dispensers, not only in the adopted S. P. Public School but also across neighbouring schools. At the launch event, graced by the presence of Justice Alok Jain, Hon’ble Judge of Punjab & Haryana High Court, as the Chief Guest, and esteemed personalities like Sh. Virendra Vij (IPS), DCP East Gurgaon, and Ms. Benu Malhotra, Founder and Trustee of Parvaah, the initiative’s profound impact was unveiled.

“We will improve the hygiene and basic sanitation in the identified schools and Project Sahayata will bring in the much-needed upliftment. We will also work closely with the teachers to promote sports, art and crafts and create an environment to make school more enjoyable and fun for these students,” Samaira Mohunta, President, Parvaah said.

In July, Project Sahayata’s second campaign took flight, aligning with the sanitation objectives of UN SDG Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. By utilizing funds generated from the sale of cards and envelopes crafted by the children during their summer break, the initiative successfully established a hygienic toilet and hand-washing station at S.P. Public School, Gurugram.

This 76th Independence Day, Project Sahayata adopted the community ground for the students of S. P Public School and a few other students of schools in the vicinity. After levelling the ground, they orchestrated a vibrant tree plantation initiative, breathing life into the landscape with 60 new trees. Each sapling signifies their commitment to cultivating a greener future for these children, who will soon have a playground that they can truly call their own.

“Having access to an accessible and safe playground to move, exercise, and play is a vital component to ensuring healthy lives for younger children. That is what our next campaign is going to be about,” said Samaira Mohunta, President of Parvaah.

Project Sahayata, launched by determined high schoolers in March 2023, has ignited a transformative journey in Gurugram’s under-resourced S. P. Public School. From enhancing basic amenities and promoting hygiene to installing vital facilities, their actions mirror a commitment to education and holistic development. Soon, these children will revel in a playground truly their own, surrounded by the living testament of their brighter tomorrow. With each upcoming initiative, Project Sahayata will paint a brighter and greener future for these children, encapsulating the power of youth-driven change.
