Mr. Hardeep Bakshi

Director

Paradigms in education are not static, they change with the growing body of technical knowledge and changing human needs. Seedling was the result of this realization amongst stalwarts in the field of education who joined hands to form the Ankur Udbodhak Samiti in the year 1986.

Our institution is a place where students and teachers are provided with innovative and challenging ways to think about what they are doing and by allowing them to figure out the best ways to accomplish their goals

It has rightly been said that “Future belongs to those who believe in their dreams”. Education is the gate pass to achieve those dreams. It is my privilege to create a platform for surging talents of Seedlites. This institution has been established with zeal and vision to fulfil that dream of students, which makes them part of a family known for its quality and integrity.

Ms. Moneeta Bakshi

Moneeta Bakshi, one of the pillars of strength and source of inspiration, did her schooling from Delhi and her college from Mumbai. She floats in the plethora of knowledge and has come out unfazed and more aware. Her father was a chopper pilot in Armed Forces (Air Force ) and mother a house-wife.

She has been in the field of education for the last 26 years. Since the inception of Seedling in Udaipur, till the present stage, under her guidance its history is replete with many landmarks and achievements both in the field of academics as well as sports and co-curricular activities. The institution stands for its academic excellence and strives to inculcate in the minds of the students a genuine concern for the welfare of the others. It gives her immense pleasure and satisfaction when she hears that Seedling is one of the fastest growing schools of the city because of the high standards it has set in providing excellent education.

She is instrumental in putting the students of Udaipur on the International map by launching international curriculum which is spread across 160 countries. This Cambridge curriculum is an Internationally recognized qualification. In a nutshell it is a passport to success at the National and International level.
