Quiet Transformations in Goa’s Classrooms

SMF Team
January 13, 2026

In small classrooms across Goa, something meaningful is unfolding—often quietly, yet powerfully. Through the Mulyavardhan 3.0 programme, government and aided primary schools are witnessing changes that go far beyond textbooks. These are reports of children discovering responsibility, teachers rediscovering purpose, and schools becoming spaces where values are lived every day.

At Damodar Konkani Primary School, Gudi Paroda (Salcete), Headmistress Ms. Ancy Fernandes noticed a visible shift soon after Mulyavardhan activities became part of daily learning. Children began taking initiatives like cleaning classrooms and school premises on their own, and even extending their efforts beyond school boundaries. What started as an activity soon became a habit, fostering a sense of pride.

At Government Primary School, Gholwada (Sattari), teacher Shri Arjun Gawas shares how values have moved from lessons into daily life. Students now arrive on time, maintain personal hygiene, follow classroom rules, and show respect to parents at home. “The Mulyavardhan books helped us turn values into daily practice,” he says.

At Government Primary School, Adan Madkai (Ponda), Headmistress Ms. Harshada Fadte highlights how activity-based learning gained clarity and depth through Mulyavardhan. Along with teacher Ms. Preeti Naik, she observed increased student participation and stronger teacher confidence. A small school garden, created together by students and teachers, became a living classroom for cooperation and care.

Several schools in Bicholim Taluka stand out for teacher-led innovation. At Government Primary School, Mathwada (Piligao), Ms. Rupali Raval encouraged collaborative learning, helping students express ideas with confidence. At Government Primary School, Menkurem, Ms. Manisha Haladankar used creative teaching aids to bring the ‘Clean Water’ concept alive. Both were recognised as Mulyavardhan Champion Teachers.

From rural to urban settings—including Vitthalpur, Oshalbag (Pedne), and Panaji Central School under teacher Ms. Sneha Chopde—the impact is consistent: better communication, self-discipline, healthier habits, and stronger parent engagement.

These stories show that when children are guided with the right values and care, change doesn’t need to be loud—it, just has to be real. That is the heart of Mulyavardhan.
