HISTORY AND
GROWTH
The year was 1982. Education at the foundation level was by and large,
scattered and
disorganized. Schools were in the hands of housewives wanting to reduce
their boredom and
earn some pocket money in the bargain. The observer was Mrs. Sheela Chopra,
a home-wife
herself, time on her hands with a merchant navy officer husband..
A long
- term plan germinated in Mrs. Sheela
Chopra’s mind, with a dream to establish a model
and
progressive senior school, meeting the aspirations of the society,
particularly the residents of Salt
Lake.
A concrete, though small, beginning was made but the growth was rapid. Soon
even the four hired premises were not enough. The government's aid was
obtained for a piece of land in the Heart of
Salt Lake where the present St. Francis Xavier School stands. Hurdles
surfaced, but were
squarely faced, making this school a respected institution in the locality
with about 1500'students
on its rolls, besides the St. Francis International School and the Teachers
Training College. |
