D.A.V. Public School Leads the Way in Creating Safer Classrooms with Bullying Decoder Initiative
Guided by Dr. Anita Gautam’s vision of holistic education, the Bullying Decoder represents a shift from reactive discipline to proactive care.
Faridabad, Haryana: Reinforcing its commitment to creating a safe, empathetic, and future-ready learning environment, DAV PUBLIC SCHOOL, SEC 14, FARIDABAD, under the leadership of Dr. Anita Gautam, has introduced an innovative initiative, Bullying Decoder, aimed at understanding and addressing verbal bullying within classrooms.
The initiative has been developed in collaboration with Dentsu Lab India and Classteacher Learning Systems, bringing together educational insight and technological innovation to address a deeply rooted but often overlooked challenge in schools.
Located at D.A.V. Public School, Sector 14, Faridabad, Haryana, the institution has taken a pioneering step by thoughtfully integrating this solution into its student well-being framework—setting a strong example for schools across the country.

While traditional systems in schools have largely focused on monitoring physical safety, the school identified a critical gap—verbal bullying, which often goes unnoticed but leaves a lasting emotional impact. Guided by Dr. Anita Gautam’s vision of holistic education, the Bullying Decoder represents a shift from reactive discipline to proactive care.

The system works by analysing patterns in classroom conversations to identify trends related to behaviours such as body shaming, exclusion, and harmful remarks. Importantly, all insights are aggregated and anonymised, ensuring complete student privacy while enabling educators to take meaningful, informed action.
What distinguishes D.A.V. Public School is its deeply student-centric approach. The insights generated are actively used by counsellors to design contextual, age-appropriate interventions, making conversations around empathy, respect, and inclusion more relevant and impactful for students.
Early results from the 2025–2026 academic session reflect a significant positive shift, with a decline in bullying instances by 54.6%, alongside improved classroom sensitivity and peer relationships. The initiative has also contributed to a stronger sense of trust and openness within the school community.

Principal’s Message
Speaking about the initiative, Dr. Anita Gautam, Principal, DAV PUBLIC SCHOOL, SEC 14,FARIDABADl, said:
“At D.A.V. Public School, we believe that education goes beyond academics—it is about shaping emotionally aware and responsible individuals. Bullying Decoder has helped us understand our students better, not by identifying individuals, but by recognising patterns that need attention. This has empowered us to respond with empathy and precision.”

“Our focus has always been to create an environment where every child feels safe, heard, and valued. Seeing a measurable decline in bullying and a positive change in classroom culture is deeply encouraging for us as educators.”
By embracing innovation with responsibility, D.A.V. Public School continues to lead by example—demonstrating how schools can evolve into spaces that prioritise both academic excellence and emotional well-being, while collaborating with forward-thinking partners to bring meaningful change.
