“I have a dream” … These are the famous words used by Martin Luther King in his speech seeking an end to discrimination of African Americans. He gave his life for his dream and in the end his dream came true. His words travelled through time and space to find an echo in the dream of a great visionary, eminent philanthropist and renowned educationist, Dr. Lilly George, the Founder-Managing Director of Shalom Hills Group of Schools. She believes in children as the builders of a new dawn; the architect and ushers of a new world order. Dr.Lilly George, through her indefatigable spirits and ceaseless efforts, too has breathed life into and galvanized into reality her vision by founding Shalom Hills International School. ‘Shalom-Hills’ itself means ‘Shanti Giri’ and Shalom Hills International School has taken birth out of her ardent dream of contributing to world peace through education and empowering young minds with the flame of knowledge, virtues and fine ethics. The motto, vision, mission, in fact the entire curriculum and infrastructure of Shalom Hills International School seeks to secure the holistic development of each and every student, whereby they emerge from the school portals as complete individuals and empowered torch-bearers.

The school has earned a unique place in the Cambridge University SU’s Guide to Excellence featuring the world’s best schools, colleges, universities and educational institutions. Shalom Hills is the only school in India which has been handpicked by Cambridge University (Students’ Union) for two consecutive years in running .

Our students won many honors that include the Cyber Fair Platinum Award – an American State Govt endorsed International Web-site designing competition; gained international acclaim in World Scholar’s Cup – Global Round held in Singapore; made a veritable clean sweep of top notch positions be it in Shri Utsav, an Inter-School Drama and Choreography Competition in the Shree Ram School, Horlicks Wiz Kid or Multiple Intelligences based Competitions.

In Shalom Hills, parental involvement and communication are considered as essential ingredients of a child’s holistic achievement and school’s development. In fact, the keystone of Shalom Hills International School is the inclusive and collaborative participation of parents and since its inception the school email id: feedback@shalomhills.com has served as a distinctive and completely transparent platform of communication between parents and management to keep the parents in the loop about the school functioning, activities and their child’s progress.

Also as part of Dr. Lilly George’s vision of a healthy, green, equitable and ecologically diverse world, which is connected through a commonwealth of green schools, Shalom Hills International School has adopted several green initiatives, like launching the K-12 green curriculum; Green School Programme in association with Centre of Environment Education, Delhi; GSP in collaboration with Climate Miles; Save Electricity Campaign; Community projects in association with NGO Uthaan; and Go Green drive which will go a long way in promoting an understanding of the larger concept of sustainability. The school is considered a forerunner in the Green School Programme and has been conferred the Most Sustainable School Award by Eco Slate and Climate Miles and the Econ Green School Award this year.

Applane Education, a Cloud ERP empowers educational institutions to focus on delivering high-quality education, while taking care of administrative tasks and assisting in repetitive resource intensive activities through seamless automation.

There exist many activities and processes that schools invest a lot of time and resources in, and without an automation software, these activities are repeated every year/quarter and following that need to be reviewed for accuracy. Applane automates all such activities and drives efficiencies higher by allowing the schools to divert the resources previously being wasted on repetitive and mundane activities like time-table generation, fee collection, student information management and result generation to name a few. Applane benefits not just the school administration but also, the teachers, students and parents by allowing them anytime anywhere access to their respective tasks. As a cloud based ERP, Applane is highly scalable amid large and medium sized organizations.

“If I had Applane when I started my school, it would have definitely avoided lost time and money, together with the frustration I went through to make things work. I am glad to have found Applane and that I am using it now!”

Most of the ventures in this field work on the “Pay as you Go” (PAYG) model. The pricing also varies with the customization based on the number of modules an educational institution has subscribed to. Applane charges on a per student per month basis. For instance, if a school or college has subscribed for the complete ERP, the price charged will be Rs 40 per student per month. However, if the institute decides to customize the service and opts for only few, there is surely a decline in the price charged.

One of our favourite challenges is implementation in large chains of schools and colleges who wish to control/automate the processes of the entire chain – across institutions, using single software. To convince our clients of the importance of Applane, we typically start with a small implementation whose scope invariably increases as the clients began to use Applane.

Yogesh Agarwal, President at Applane believes that the technology-related solutions will bring revolution in education system. These systems will help the education sector in different ways. It will help bring process efficiencies and improvement in quality of service delivered; it will also release time for staff in educational institutions to do other productive work.

It will work to bring improvement in learner engagement and outcomes. With the use of effective technology, educational institutions can become ‘net knowledge creators’ rather than just knowledge disseminators.

“We offer 99 percent uptime guarantee for this cloud-based software,” claims Mr Shobhit Elhance, Vice President at Applane. He believes that the introduction of technologies in the educational systems will also enhance functional literacy, prevent dropouts and improve education system.

There are around 110 educational institutions in Gurgaon, comprising of around 74 schools, 19 engineering and architect colleges, 1 medical college and 16 management schools. “We, alone, offer the ERP service to around 10 institutions in Gurgaon.
