Leading the Journey of Learning
A Message from the Principal
"Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man." — Swami Vivekananda
Dear Parents, Students and Well-wishers!
Greetings and a warm welcome to Podar International School, Kalyan (West).
It gives me immense pleasure and pride to serve as the Principal of Podar International School, Kalyan (West). Since assuming this responsibility on 25th May 2026, I have felt privileged to be part of an institution that is committed to academic excellence, strong values, innovation and the holistic development of every child.
Having had the privilege of serving in leading educational institutions over the years, I have come to believe that true education extends far beyond academic achievement. It is about nurturing confident, compassionate and responsible individuals who possess the knowledge, skills and character to thrive in an ever-evolving global landscape. This belief continues to shape my educational philosophy and leadership.
At Podar International School, we strive to create a stimulating, inclusive and learner-centric environment where curiosity is nurtured, creativity is celebrated, and every child is inspired to realise his or her fullest potential. Alongside academic excellence, we place equal emphasis on critical thinking, leadership, resilience, integrity and social responsibility.
Our dedicated educators work tirelessly to ensure that learning remains meaningful, engaging and future-ready. We believe that every student is unique and deserves opportunities to discover their strengths, pursue their passions and grow into lifelong learners. I firmly believe that a child's success is built upon a strong partnership between the school and the home. With the unwavering support of parents and the commitment of our educators, we can provide enriching experiences that empower our students to excel not only in their studies but also in life.
As we continue our journey of growth and excellence, I look forward to working closely with all stakeholders to foster a culture of learning, respect, collaboration and achievement. Together, through the collective efforts of our students, parents and staff, I am confident that we will strengthen the school's proud legacy and take Podar International School (CBSE), Kalyan (West) to even greater heights of excellence.
Let us inspire our children to dream boldly, learn enthusiastically, lead with integrity and become compassionate global citizens who contribute meaningfully to society.
Warm regards,
R. D. Sharma
Principal, Podar International School - Kalyan (CBSE)
