About Holy Shrine Inter CollegeOur founder, Late Smt. Vedwati Dixit was a freedom fighter. Having taught children at Gurukul Kangdi, Dehradun, at Balwaadi in Bangalore‘s Vishwaneedam Dairy farms, she was keenly interested in taking education to the masses. With this vision of affordable quality education she started a small school in Indira Nagar in her residence itself. The sapling bore fruit and soon new premises had to be arranged to handle the increased strength of students. Thus came up the existing structure at Manas Vihar. Mrs Dixit passed away in 2002.
The vacuum created by her absence was ably filled by our present Director Smt. Usha Shanker. Winner of HT Woman Award, FICCI FLO Award, Amar Ujala “Guru Pranam” Award, PHD Chamber’s Award for excellence in Education, she took the school to greater heights.
Ms. Ujjwala Shanker has been the Manager of the school since 2012. An alumnus of Loreto Convent, Carmel Convent, (New Delhi), Army Public School, Avadh Girls’ Degree College, Lucknow University and Unity Law College. She holds a Masters’ Degree in Constitutional Law from SRMU.
She got the Brand India CIMSME Women in Business Award in 2021
She got the FICCI FLO internal award in 2023 for her contribution to legal awareness amidst especially abled women.
She got an award from IDSA and Women Shine for her entrepreneurial efforts in Dec 2023
She is the President of Awadh Girls’ Degree College Alumnae Association and has been the past Treasurer of Loreto Alumnae Association.
Her efforts bore fruit when eight students from disadvantaged backgrounds, under her guidance, received special letters of recommendation from the Prime Minister’s Office in 2023 for their perspectives on ‘Pareeksha Par Charcha’.
Her vision is to take the legacy of Mrs. Vedwati Dixit and Mrs. Usha Shanker forward and take the school to great heights where children are nurtured and mentored so that they achieve their fullest potential. EACH CHILD IS UNIQUE AND SPECIAL- This is the firm belief of our school.
