Veena Vadini School is India’s only ‘ambidextrous’ school. Students can write using both hands together and finish exams in half the time! Ambidexterity is the state of being equally adapted in the use of both the left and the right hand. When referring to objects, the concept indicates that the object is equally suitable for right-handed and left-handed people.

   When referring to humans, it indicates that a person has no marked preference for the use of the right or left hand. Only about one per cent of people are naturally ambidextrous. In more modern times, it is common to find some people considered ambidextrous who were originally left-handed and who learned to be ambidextrous, either deliberately or as a result of training in schools or in jobs where right-handed habits are often emphasized or required.

   Ambidexterity is often encouraged in activities requiring a great deal of skill in both hands,....
