A Vidyalaya Patrika (विद्यालय पत्रिका) is typically a school magazine or newsletter published by educational institutions in India. It serves as a platform to showcase the talents and achievements of students and staff, while also documenting important events, activities, and milestones of the school.
Key features of a Vidyalaya Patrika usually include:

Messages from School Leadership: Often, the principal, school management, or guest contributors write messages of inspiration or share important updates for the school community.
Editorial Section: Managed by an editorial board, which can include teachers and students. This section may reflect on the theme or vision of the school or the specific edition.
