It is where I inculcated the traits of the professional world. A smooth blend of subject knowledge, practical approach, and a positive learning environment. Lessons learned in the classroom and campus back then are like the treasure that I would always be grateful for. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\"><b>Small town wonder- RDPS<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the able leadership of Ms. Ritu Khandelwal, RDPS has created quite a stir in spite of being in Betul- a town that is virtually unheard of. Current students have earned recognition at the national level, and alumni study in <\/span><b>some of the best universities in India- an achievement that the school attributes to robust career counselling<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> involving online research tools, counsellor support through chat and email and even online alumni interactions.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\"><b>What truly sets RDPS apart?\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\"><b>Breaking stereotypes\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">RDPS believes that their strong career guidance system and timely career counselling interventions have helped the students pick the right path. Breaking the stereotype that technology is sparse in smaller cities, RDPS has encouraged students to go online. The school has made sure that its students have access to Univariety\u2019s online platform where they can have regular and detailed interactions with the best career counsellors in the country. Exploring their options has helped the students of RDPS categorise, shortlist and choose their course, college, and country with a higher level of confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\"><b>Nurturing and building a community\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Having won several awards in the areas of community service, the students and educators of RDPS have been able to create a culture of leadership that works for the community at large. Students understand that a school that focuses on holistic development and usage of technology is uncommon in a smaller town. Thus, they are keen to provide for the underprivileged within their community. Most of the RDPS alumni choose to stay back in India and work here and continue to keep in touch with their alma mater.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5758\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5758\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sharadha.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5758 size-full\" title=\"Sharadha sahu - student\" src=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sharadha.png\" alt=\"Sharadha sahu\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5758\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Sharadha Sahu,<\/strong> <i>Batch of 2015\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I feel grateful for such amazing teachers during my school life who helped me bloom.
