There was a riot of colours on the grounds of Study Hall on 20th February, 2019 as the Junior School organized the Craft Mela.
It was indeed delightful to see the children’s enthusiasm as they sat together in groups to churn out the most vibrant craft items with their nimble fingers.
Keeping in mind the three R’s (Reuse, Reduce and Recycle) the young ones made all possible efforts to bring out the ‘ best from the waste’.
It was an exhibition with a difference. The visitors were greatly impressed to watch the children in the process of making the craft items instead of merely displaying the finished products. Very confidently, the children also explained the entire process to the parents, leaving them awe-struck.
Dosti too was a part of the Craft Mela where they displayed the craft items prepared by them. These were highly appreciated by the parents.
We are proud to mention that many parents donated generously and the proceeds from the Mela will now be handed over to GyanSetu. This move has also helped to build empathy in our children. The spirit of teamwork was clearly evident as the children happily engaged in creative pursuits.

The table above shows the amount of water saved by our team in one month
In this project, we inserted bottles filled with pebbles and sand in the cisterns of our school. It uses the displacement method, by which less water is flushed, which is saving around 2O percent of water usage. Within three months only we saved approximately 67,080 liters of water. By this method, we are not only preventing water wastage but also reducing the water carbon footprint.

“A farmer sows a seed in soil and look after it but ultimately it is the sun and the rain which help the seed germinate.”
Parents are like farmers. They send their children to school and bear the necessary cost of education but it is ultimately the teachers who help the young little minds in becoming the future them. They foster and hone their students’ abilities and talents. Teachers play a monumental role in an individual’s life.
A teacher is like a candle kept in a dark room from which light rays emanate and drives out darkness and falsehood.

“Education means enabling the mind to find out that ultimate truth which emancipates us from the bondage of dust and gives us wealth not of things but of inner light, not of power but of love. It is a process of enlightenment. It is divine wealth. It helps in realization of truth”. -Rabindranath Tagore
Teacher help students in this very process of enlightenment. They guide us. They tread with us on our journey to success. They are flowers which bloom in the deepest valleys and yet can be seen from a distance. Their aura is knowledge and their acts are an inspiration. Their love is faithful and their care is genuine. They deserve more than just respect. They deserve our love, affection, and gratitude.
Happy Teacher’s Day.
