Key facts about Sri Ramakrishna Vidyashala
- Founded
- 1953
- Board
- State Board
- Type
- Senior Secondary
Sri Ramakrishna Vidyashala was founded in 1953 by Srimat Swami Shambhavanandaji Maharaj. Swamiji was an educational pioneer in southern Karnataka who sought to offer younger students a “man-making education”, which Swami Vivekananda had envisioned as a total development of man which includes the physical, mental and spiritual aspects. Vidyashala began as a small hostel for students of various age groups called Ramakrishna Students Home. The students home was built in 1932. Some of its residents, such as the acclaimed writers K.V. Puttappa, Javare Gowda and S.M. Krishna, the former Minister of External Affairs, went on to become prominent members of society. When Swami Shambhavananda ji felt a need to expand the student’s home, he procured a redesign from Sri B.B. Mhatre, the renowned architect of Bombay.

Interview questions & answers for Librarian
Common questions Indian schools ask for Librarian roles in Mysore (STATE BOARD panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. Will I need to submit a sample lesson plan?
Assume yes — most state-board schools ask for one alongside the demo. Structure it as: objective → prior knowledge check → input (10 min) → guided practice → independent task → plenary. Include differentiation notes and one assessment prompt.
2. Tell me about yourself — how should I frame my self-introduction?
Keep it 60-90 seconds: start with your name and current role, then two or three highlights that map to the Librarian brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why Sri Ramakrishna Vidyashala in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
3. How do you handle classroom discipline?
Lead with prevention: clear routines, seating design, and engagement pacing. Follow with a de-escalation sequence (private redirect → restorative conversation → parent loop-in) and mention that you document incidents. Schools want a framework, not a "punish" answer.
4. Why did you choose teaching as a career?
Anchor it in a specific moment — a mentor, a classroom win, or an impact story on a student. Panels want authenticity plus a link to the future ("that's why I want to work with Grade X at your school"), not a scripted "I love kids" answer.
5. How do you use technology in the classroom?
Pick one or two tools you actually use (Google Classroom, Kahoot, Nearpod, a subject-specific simulator) and tie them to a learning outcome, not novelty. If Sri Ramakrishna Vidyashala runs a specific LMS, mention you'd upskill on it in the first month.
6. How would you handle a difficult parent meeting?
Listen first, restate the concern, share data (assessment scores, work samples, incident notes), then propose two next steps with a follow-up date. Emphasise you'd loop in the coordinator/HOD for anything unresolved — schools want partnership, not solo heroics.
