HISTORY OF THE HUMAN WELFARE FELLOWSHIP SOCIETY
AND THE BIRTH OF A NEW INSTITUTION AT CHHURA.
It is with a standing ovation only I could recollect those days when I and my late brother Mr. M.Y. Steaphen
were having personal chatting, sitting very often under the cool of the hospital Compound, discussing about
various subjects, sometimes official, sometimes personal and at other times the fate of the hospital after me,
etc. etc. This kind of leisure time discussion culminated in the subject of starting an English Medium School
at Chhura. Later, this idea became his only subject for discussion with me. And I had no option but to give
him a blank permission to go ahead with his idea, and requested him to draw a blue print for the same.
He being a learn-ed educationalist was able to frame a structure for the same within no time. To me, starting
a school was beyond my rich and thinking. He was a visionary; his vision about the remote villages in and
around Chhura was was beyond anyone’s perception; though his stay at Chhura lasted for a short period only.
His concern for the marginalized ordinary village folk was par excellent. He was moved by the inadequacy
of the socio-cultural level of the villagers. This moved him to think on that line of starting an English Medium
School at Chhura.
He moved fast. Sitting on as couch in his hut and sometimes under the shodes of the hospital compound he
completed the Rules and Regulations of a society and Christened it as “The Human Welfare Fellowship
Society, Chhura” within few weeks time. In record time we got its Registration too. Thus, in the year 2004
the society as well as the school became a reality. For this Endeavour, we got unlimited support from the
public, without which this would not have became a reality.
I feel proud of my brother, who despite taking all pain to form the society dicided to stand second in position
and dedicated himself to be the guiding spirit of the society and its functions from behind the curtain. He
chose to be the second in command in all matters with regard to the day to day administration, but committed
to train us to take the society to a new plane.
At this juncture, when the school from the humble beginning has grown up to a Higher Secondary School,
out of the wonderful Grace that God Almighty has been showering on us, and the unlimited co-operation and
helps we received from public, I could shay a big Thank you only to all those who shed their sweat to bring
this School to this level, I hail before the Lord God Almighty who led us all, each member of the Management
during the past. I am looking forward, for the showers of blessing, from Him, who alone is, the ground of
our life and the life of the St. John’s family.
Managing Director
Dear Reader,
Greeting to you from St. John’s Family.
I take this opportunity to address you on behalf of St. John’s (English Medium High School) Family in and
through this medium.
Of course, you all will agree with me, that we live in an age where Education has become a business, more
over a profit making device. Admidst such a situation, St. John’s is unique in its system of operations. This
uniqueness alone is this spirit and soul of our School. This uniqueness is comprised of many a factors;
Education without discrimination is the prominent among them : bringing English Education to the remote
villages of this part of our State is yet another radical step that St. John’s Family took up with deep conviction
and commitment. Till the time we set a step further English Education remained a dream to many a villagers
of this area who are not only innocent but were unable to afford the burden of English Education to their
children outside the villages. St. John’s Family has taken up the strain and pain of that burden, imparting
English Education at a very low cost. A long Cherished dream (English Education) of the ordinary village
folks, we prevailed over to realize it. We impart English Education to the children belong to the far off
villages that lay about 30 km. away. We could proudly say. We educate them with pride whose social status
lay ay the bottom level of our financial as well as other structure. We are committed to empathize it impart
quality and holistic education and without any discrimination to his/her family background, financial status,
caste colour or creed. We envisage an egalitarian society to prevail over our culture and society, at St. John’s
it is our earnest desire, and also it is our hope, that each student who passes out from this family, shall
qualitatively be different from the products of other Institutions, who attract students with their colourful
advertisements and pomp and shows.
We wish, all our students shall be successful to address the issues and problems of the present and future
society with full confidence, proper vision and with right resolution.
On behalf of the St. John’s family, a warm welcome is extended to you step in, be a member of this family,
experience the warmth of love, care and the discipline. In turn we assure you, your ward shall be equipped
molded and shaped in such a way that you will never have to repent about the future of your ward. We invite
you co-operate with us to help you and your young generation. Thank you
Principal
An education Institution is the citadel of learning, peace, integrity and Harmany. It is a home where students
of all races, culture, Religions and status are trained in different skills. It is the matrix where they are malted
and molded to be worthy citizens and leaders of our society and at large our Nation.
Plants are developed by cultivation and man by education. St. John’s tries to impart genuine and qualitative
system of Education. This provides strength to the students to address the challenges more effectively than
anyone else. It focuses a holistic approach, where mental, spiritual and physical realms of the students are
developed together but separately collectively and equivocally.
Academic excellence alone cannot support them to stand on the Pedestal of success, unless and until they
accept the Fatherhood of God builds relationship with one another marked by love sincerity and self-giving.

As an educational institution our school is dedicated for quality education and over all development of the
students. It is a matter of joy that our school is completing its 18th years of serving the community, further
every year we feel the cooperation of the parents are becoming more cordial with the management, that
helps a lot in maintaining the quality of teaching, I wish let this continue as it was during yester years.
The environment of the school makes it explicit, how much dedicated is the management with regard to
the quality of education. The system instituted is such that the level of standard of the school shall never go
downward, but shall progress year after year. The management is very keen in observing each and every
system properly and correction are done wherever it is necessary.
It is really a matter to be appreciated that a student right from her/his early childhood is taken care of by the
same team of staff continuously. This too furthers the impact of the staff in molding the personality of each
and every student. This system has a parental effect on the children.
I wish, this kind of a system shall only help to produce such pupil who shall be worthy for building our
society and nation.
