Introduction

Welcome to the world of designing new milieus in the field of

Education. New Creation invites Individuals/ Organizations/

Educational institutes who are inclined to learn, unlearn and

relearn the process of Learning! It is a common platform to

share and care for the development of a child into responsible,

self reliant and compassionate individual.

The Who and How of New Creation

The history of Sri Aurobindo International School dates back to 1967, when

Late Prof. Vedre Madhusudan Reddy, (UNESCO Fellow, Fullbright Asian

Professor and visiting scholar) Dept. of Philosophy, Osmania University,

Hyderabad, sketched a humble plan to start a school and help children

evolve, under the flagship of INSTITUTE OF HUMAN STUDY. The

institute is engaged in providing suitable environment and resources to learn

about human life through the writings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother of

Puducherry. What started as simple Kindergarten School then, is now a

sought after school in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad,

known for its alternative practices of learning, which follows a curriculum

of Integral Education. The vast experience of fifty years helped the school to

extend its wings into a Residential set up called the New Creation a Free

Progress School located in the natural vistas at Champak Hills, Jangaon, 80

km away from Hyderabad.

The Institute of Human Study, chaired by Dr. V. Ananda Reddy ,not only

runs the above mentioned schools but also Sri Aurobindo Centre for

Advanced Research (SACAR) at Puducherry apart from a ADITI

GURULUL, a free school for the less privileged at Jangaon.

The New Creation Symposium is not just an idea, but a process which can

flourish plethora of possibilities to experiment varied learning practices.
