Organisational Culture refers to the Institutionalisation of a group of individuals working or living together with some common objectives for a common goal. Culture is a "shared meaning" that produces common understandings amongst its members and also distinguishes an organization or group of persons from other groups.

Abhyasa is an organization built on the time tested foundational strength of Indian Culture and Ethos and believes that every individual is truly a world citizen and part of the Global Human Fraternity- based on the pristine maxim :"Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam - The Earth is one family" !

The school nurtures certain traditional Indian values in the students, right from touching the feet of elders to celebrating festivals of all religions with customary fervour. Students also practise Yoga, Meditation, Vedic Recitation etc.

While the school provides a comfortable residential facility - it consciously discourages snobbish life style and attitudes and encourages simple living and high thinking. The emphasis is on community living, sharing and caring for each other.

Abhyasa lays emphasis on inculcating the following attitudes in its students :

(a) Reverence to parents and teachers.
(b) Respect the wisdom of elders and all religions.
(c) Trust and co-operation among peers.
(d) Loyalty towards the Nation and service to the needy.
(e) Faith in one's conscience and spiritual outlook towards life.

While establishing a shared perceptual framework, we should not be seeking too much of homogeneity or standardization . Plurality and Diversity in society needs to be acknowledged. Arnold Toynbee, the author of "Future Shock", identified the tendency towards standardisation and uniformity as the reason for disintegration of societies. Recognising the diversity permeating through the social fabric, Abhyasa has adapted the following features as its organizational culture to achieve total quality management :

(1) Discipline : growth oriented - effectively balanced with freedom of expression.

(2) Student-teacher interactions - a right balance between formality and informality

(3) Inter- personal relations - a right balance between independence and interdependence

(4) Intra-personal relations - a right balance between sensitivity and courage

(5) Dignity of Labour : Students are empowered to serve, to make them understand the value of work - through social service and self-reliance.

(6) Conservation of environment , energy and natural resources is advocated.

(7) Group Dynamics : right from a class III student to the Principal, a togetherness exists as a single family - with a right balance between love and respect.

(8) Leadership : contributes apart from control - hence teachers
     - at the primary school act as 'an authority with love'-
     - at the secondary school act as 'elder friends who guide'.

(9) Discrimination : apart from extending co-operation and support to their peers, students are encouraged to compete with teams of other schools.

(10) Religious Tolerance : the unity and essence of all religions is experienced by students by visiting the mosque while celebrating Id-ul-Fitr at end of Ramazan month and recreating the nativity of Christ on Christmas eve apart from visiting the church on December 25th every year .

(11) Reengineering : New times call for new organizations. In the new age, the new intellectual market economy is predicted to be merciless. Small organisations will outsmart giant corporation.;
"The winners of the twenty-first century will be those who can transform their organisations into something that more resembles a jeep - an all-wheel drive, all terrain vehicle that is lean, mean and highly manoeuvrable." - Rowan Gibson.

The reasonable student strength of 360 and the advantageous Teacher : Student ratio of 1:10 has been exclusively designed to make Abhyasa manoeuvrable to changes in global environment.

(12) Networking : In the new age, networks are considered more important than nations. Sharing of knowledge and technology is essential and inevitable. Otherwise an individual or an organization becomes incompetent or redundant. Abhyasa is sharing educational technology with several other schools, through the 'Schoolnet India Ltd'  which networks schools across the country.
