APRIL-JUNE 2025INNACLEVICE PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGEPAGE 02“Give a child something to do, not something to learn and doing is ofsuch a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results.”The above mentioned maxim encapsulates my aspirations and effortrequired to bring about excellence in every facet of school life. I amhonoured to be part of a school community that is committed toprovide an international curriculum - an outstanding education for eachand every learner. Every child is bestowed with unique talents,interests, and passions, and it is our responsibility to create anenvironment that nurtures and develops these qualities. After afulfilling stint of twelve glorious years as a school principal withdifferent schools affiliated with various boards, I have learned thatleadership is not just about managing institutions, but aboutempowering individuals, fostering growth, and shaping futures. Everychallenge is an opportunity, every student a unique gift, and everymoment a chance to make a lasting impact. It gives me immense pleasure to be able to serve this esteemed institution once again, albeit in analtogether different capacity, after a gap of fifteen years.

As I embark upon a new chapter professionally, my heart is filled with mixed emotions -excitement for the fresh challenges, gratitude for the experiences that have shaped me, and a hintof nostalgia for the responsibilities I've carried in the past. I'm eager to channel my passion,expertise, and heart into this new role, making a meaningful impact on students, teachers, and theschool community! As I revisit familiar halls and reconnect with memories that have shaped myjourney over the years, the whole experience is fascinating, to say the least. Harvest International School strives to create an inclusive, engaging, and challenging learningexperience that fosters curiosity, creativity, decision making and leadership skills. The internationalcurriculum prepares students for jobs that have not been created, technologies that have not beeninvented and problems that we don’t know will rise.

With my experience as an educator for over two decades, I intend to addvalue, foster innovation and nurture excellence both in academics and sports, empoweringstudents to strive and grow into compassionate, thoughtful and accomplished individuals. I extendmy heartfelt gratitude to the dynamic vision of Harvey sir, which has seen Harvest grow from afledgling nursery of talent to an ever evolving, growing institute of excellence!

PAGE 15APRIL-JUNE 2025INNACLETeacher Talk: Q&A Edition1. What inspired you to pursue a career in AI and robotics?The teacher shared that a combination of personal and practical factorsguided them toward this career path. Financial stability was amotivating factor—recognizing that the tech industry, especially AI androbotics, offers strong career prospects. Childhood experiences, likelyinvolving curiosity about how things work or early exposure totechnology, also played a significant role. Additionally, a natural interestin mechanical engineering helped bridge their fascination with physicalsystems and intelligent technology, leading them into the world ofrobotics.2. What’s the most exciting project you’ve ever worked on?They mentioned the Unitree Go2, a quadruped robot developed in China, as their most excitingproject.Working on or studying such a project involves real-time applications of AI, robotics,and mechanical systems, showing how advanced robotics is no longer science fiction but partof today's market.3. What do you enjoy most about teaching AI and robotics?What excites the teacher most is that AI and robotics encourage hands-on learning rather thanrote memorization. Students get to build, break, and rebuild—embracing the Indian concept of“jugaad,” or creative problem-solving. It's about experimentation, curiosity, and invention, whichmakes teaching the subject dynamic and deeply satisfying.4. What are some misconceptions students have about AI and robotics?One common myth is that AI will dominate or replace humanity. The teacher clarified that if AIever does pose a threat, it would be due to human misuse, not the technology itself. It's humanswho design, train, and deploy AI, so the responsibility lies with us. In essence, the danger isn'tAI itself—it's how we choose to use it.5. If you could build a robot to do anything for you, what would it do?Like many of us, the teacher would love a robot that could handle the everyday tasks we oftenprocrastinate on—things like cleaning, organizing, or other routine duties. This answer highlightsa practical vision for robotics: not to replace people, but to make life easier by automating tedioustasks.AAYUSH KHANDELWAL

PAGE 19APRIL-JUNE 2025INNACLEWith Heavy Hearts: Our Heartfelt Condolences Each life snatched away was more than a name, more than anumber — they were dreams in motion, hands that heldpromises, voices that once filled homes with stories andlaughter. Shubham Dwivedi, a newlywed from Kanpur, wouldhave been planning to lead the rest of his life with his beloved,not becoming a name mourned by strangers. Lieutenant VinayNarwal from Haryana, who had dedicated his life to protectingothers, shall never return to the embrace of his family. And somany others, their stories forever unfinished, their laughterforever silenced. In their absence, there is a quiet so heavy itcrushes us. The spaces they once filled are now hollow; thephone calls that will never come, the meals where their chairwill always be empty. Mothers clutch photographs, fathersstand in silence, and children ask questions too big for words.We cry not just for the lives lost, but for the love that will neveragain be spoken aloud. For the weddings that will neverhappen. For the dreams left hanging mid-sentence.-Tejas Singla IG1-A
