'''Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux''' ([[May 11]], [[1827]], [[Valenciennes]] –[[October 12]], [[1875]], [[Courbevoie]]) was a French sculptor and painter. His early studies were under [[François Rude]]. Carpeaux won the [[Prix de Rome]] in [[1854]], and moving to [[Rome]] to find inspiration, he there studied the works of [[Michelangelo Buonarroti|Michelangelo]], [[Donatello]] and [[Andrea del Verrocchio|Verrocchio]]. Staying in Rome from [[1854]] to [[1861]], he obtained a taste for movement and spontaneity, which he joined with the great principles of [[baroque art]]. In [[1861]] he made a bust of [[Mathilde Bonaparte|Princess Mathilde]], and this later brought him several commissions from [[Napoleon III]]. He worked at the pavilion of [[Flora (goddess)|Flora]], and the [[Opéra Garnier]]. His group La Danse (the Dance, [[1869]]), situated on the right side of the façade, was criticised as an offence to common decency. |
|||
'''Netarhat Residential School''' was established on [[15 November]] [[1954]], after the independence of [[India]], to provide a centre of academic excellence to people of state of [[Bihar]], irrespective of their economic conditions, caste and creed. |
|||
He never managed to finish his last work, the famous Fountain of the Four Parts of the Earth, on the Place Camille Jullian. He did finish the terrestrial globe, supported by the four figures of [[Asia]], [[Europe]], [[North America|America]] and [[Africa]], and it was [[Emmanuel Frémiet]] who completed the work by adding the eight leaping horses, the tortoises and the dolphins of the basin. |
|||
The school has a record of producing toppers of the Bihar School Examination Board[http://biharboard.bih.nic.in/Toppers.htm] (After the creation of the state of [[Jharkhand]] in the year 2000, it comes under the purview of Jharkhand Board.) |

|||
The school is situated far away from disturbed and busy life of town, and is very close to lap of nature surrounded by Saal trees on a hill top. The whole atmosphere is based on ''Guru Kul Padhati'' - away from home, staying in ''Ashrams'', simple and country made dress (based on the Gandhian philosophy)... Continuing to provide excellent environment. The school has produced citizens who are following the motto of school ''Atta Dipa Viharatha''. The inspiration of school had let a number of students of this school (commonly known as ''NOBA''- Netarhat Old Boys Association) to share their wisdom to whole world. |

Carpeaux submitted a plaster version of ''Pêcheur napolitain à la coquille'', the Neapolitan Fisherboy, to the [[French Academy]] while a student in [[Rome]]. He carved the marble version several years later, showing it in the Salon exhibition of 1863. It was purchased for [[Napoleon III]]'s empress, [[Eugénie de Montijo|Eugènie]]. The statue of the young smiling boy was very popular, and Carpeaux created a number of reproductions and variations in marble and bronze. There is a copy, for instance, in the Samuel H. Kress Collection in the [[National Gallery of Art]] in [[Washington D.C.]] |
|||
The school is situated on the plateau of [[Chhotanagpur]], in the state of [[Jharkhand]] (undivided [[Bihar]]) in [[India]] which is known for its scenic beauty. |
|||
Tourists from all over [[India]] and abroad visit [[Netarhat]] for the sunrise and sunset and for the invigorating forest air and for the tranquility.Dense forests, serpentine roads, cool bracing breeze, moonlit nights must have persuaded the English to call this place Nature's Heart (Netarhat). However, some argue that the place got its name from 'Netur Haat' (which means a marketplace for bamboo in the local language). Apart from bamboo, the pine and sakhua trees add to the beauty of this place. The waterfalls Upper Ghaghri, Lower Ghaghri, Tahir, Boodhha Ghaagh and the Koel river are picturesque and soothing at the same time. |
|||
Some years later, he carved the Girl with a Shell, a very similar study. |
|||
It is located at an elevation of 1250 meters and is renowned for spectacular sunrises, sunsets, waterfall, beautiful flora and fauna. The nearest major railway station and airport is [[Ranchi]], which is at a distance of 156 Kilometers. There are regular buses for [[Netarhat]] from [[Ranchi]] and Palamau. |
|||
Carpeaux sought real life subjects in the streets and broke with the classical tradition. The Neapolitan Fisherboy's body is carved in intimate detail and shows an intricately balanced pose. Carpeaux claimed that he based the Neapolitan Fisherboy on a boy he had seen during a trip to [[Naples]]. |

==Motto== |

"Atta Dipa Viharatha" - be thou your own light - is the motto of the school. It rightly motivates students to be self-dependent and instills in them confidence to face challenges of life. Great emphasis is laid on the all-round development (sarvangeen vikas) of the students. |

The school has senior division Naval wing besides the three junior divisions of N.C.C. - Army, Air and Naval. There are four [[Bharat Scouts and Guides|Scout troops]] for junior boys and they can also opt for the [[Red Cross Society]]. Training in [[yoga]] is also imparted to the boys and girls.

The school has facilities for hobbies like wood-work, metal-work, aeromodelling, claymodelling, gardening, photography, painting and rifle training. Dramas in Hindi and English, debates, elocution and 'antyakshri' competitions are held at regular intervals. |
|||
Educational tours to different parts of the country are also orgnised by the school. |
|||
The school has its own printing press where the school magazine 'Sarjana' is printed. |
|||
Thus the students get an opportunity to learn the basics of journalism and printing. |
|||
==Library== |
|||
The school has a well stocked library consisting of more than forty thousand books on various subjects. The open shelf system enables students to have an easy access to the books of their choice. Almost all important dailies, weeklies and magazines including some foreign journal are available in the library. |
|||
==Health Care== |
|||
The school has a 16 bed sickroom under the control of a full time medical officer. |

All the students live in hostels which are called "Ashrams". Every Ashram is under an "Ashramadhyaksha" or housemaster. The housemasters and their wives, who are reverentially called "Mataji"(Mother), not only live in the Ashrams, but they also have their meals with the boarders. |
|||
This makes it easier for the children drawn from different backgrounds to adjust themselves without any psychological strain. |
|||
The entire Ashram chores is done by the inmates themselves by rotation including sweeping the rooms, washing utensils, cleaning toilets, serving food etc. This removes all the personal angularities. |
|||
Hostel are divided into seven sets or 'ashram - wargas'. |

*2nd Set: Aanand, Prem, Arjun |

Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (May 11, 1827, Valenciennes –October 12, 1875, Courbevoie) was a French sculptor and painter. His early studies were under François Rude. Carpeaux won the Prix de Rome in 1854, and moving to Rome to find inspiration, he there studied the works of Michelangelo, Donatello and Verrocchio. Staying in Rome from 1854 to 1861, he obtained a taste for movement and spontaneity, which he joined with the great principles of baroque art. In 1861 he made a bust of Princess Mathilde, and this later brought him several commissions from Napoleon III. He worked at the pavilion of Flora, and the Opéra Garnier. His group La Danse (the Dance, 1869), situated on the right side of the façade, was criticised as an offence to common decency.
He never managed to finish his last work, the famous Fountain of the Four Parts of the Earth, on the Place Camille Jullian. He did finish the terrestrial globe, supported by the four figures of Asia, Europe, America and Africa, and it was Emmanuel Frémiet who completed the work by adding the eight leaping horses, the tortoises and the dolphins of the basin.
