Academician Kavita Sahay is taking education beyond the confines of the classroom

An academician par excellence, Kavita Sahay’s career spans over two decades with an experience ranging from a teacher to director and leading the VIBGYOR Group as the vice-chairperson.

She has been associated with VIBGYOR since its inception and has been instrumental in shaping the academic programme of VIBGYOR High based on the principles of ‘innovative and interactive education’.

Sahay spearheaded a core group of talented education experts who created a curriculum based on international standards for VIBGYOR Group of Schools. Education until then was largely textbook oriented and dominated by the concept of syllabus completion. Not many educators have focused on the learning outcomes as prescribed by the National Curriculum Framework. Sahay, with her team, has ushered in a change and created a unique curriculum for VIBGYOR which works on the holistic development of students.


Sahay’s penchant for quality education and all-round development of children motivated her to conceptualise and initiate a pan India event — VIBGYOR Viva — an amalgamation of academics, sports and cultural activities. Viva offers a platform for students to showcase their talents, interact and collaborate with other students around the country and develop life skills.

Another pet project of hers is V-EMBARK which has been formulated to take learning beyond the confines of the classroom and provide opportunities for students to experience and learn in realistic and prolific learning environments.

It is a conglomerate of educational clubs like VMUN (Model United Nations), VNC (Nature Club) , VGC (Greaders’ Club), VSSRC (Students Social Responsibility Cell) and more programmes that engage students in transdisciplinary learning activities beyond the regular school hours.

Sahay’s creativity and ardour towards education has not only made her a successful professional but has also led VIBGYOR Group of Schools to reach its acme.
