INTRODUCTION

N.J Urdu School was founded by Saiyed Nazar Hussain in 2002 with the vision of providing quality education to Urdu medium students at minimal cost. Starting with just two classes, the school has since made significant strides in delivering education, instilling values, and offering proper guidance to its students. Under the leadership of Principal Saiyed Nigar Sultana, the school has consistently organized various annual co-curricular activities throughout its academic years.

1.Drawing And Craft Exhibition:
In very few years of its inception  N.J. Urdu School held its 1st Drawing and Craft exhibition which was inaugurated by the then Deputy Mayor Of Mira Road  Mrs. Saiyed Noorjahan Nazar Hussain and was attended by all parents and representatives of many other schools and was a huge success. 
2.Educational Activities:

Each academic year, the school meticulously plans and organizes a variety of educational activities, including Poetry Recitation, Storytelling, Handwriting, Drawing, and other competitions across different levels. For instance, Poetry Recitation and Storytelling competitions are held for K.G and Primary students, while Secondary students participate in Handwriting, Debates, and Elocution competitions. These activities play a crucial role in enhancing students’ critical thinking, communication skills, and mental acuity.

Furthermore, the school has hosted Mehndi competitions, with prizes awarded to the winning students.

In response to the concerning decline in our city’s ecological health and dwindling tree cover, N.J. School takes a proactive stance by organizing annual tree plantation drives.
