Celebrating Culture and Learning at Sansar Gyaan Pathshala
At Sansar Gyaan Pathshala, located in the heart of rural Northern India, we believe in providing a holistic education that goes beyond textbooks.
Our school calendar is filled with vibrant events that celebrate our rich cultural heritage, foster creativity, and promote important values. Let’s take a journey through our recent activities and the cultural significance behind them.
Hariyali Teej (August 6, 2024)
Hariyali Teej, a festival celebrating the monsoon season, holds special significance in North India.
On this day, we organized a Mehandi competition where our kids showcased their artistic skills. They had a lot of fun doing it!
Teej has been celebrated for centuries, particularly in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar.
It’s associated with the reunion of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and is a time when women pray for marital bliss and the wellbeing of their families.
International Youth Day (August 12, 2024)
On this day, we had fun with the kids discussing their crucial role in the country’s future, encouraging them to pursue their goals with determination.
It was a meaningful day filled with motivation and inspiration, reinforcing the importance of their ambitions and potential.
Independence Day (August 15, 2024)
We had the pleasure of celebrating Independence Day at our school. We were honoured to welcome many guests who joined us for this special occasion.
The day began with a flag-hoisting ceremony, a poignant reminder of our country’s rich history. Following the ceremony, our Principal delivered an inspiring speech, reflecting on the era of British rule and the significance of the freedom we cherish today.
The students then took the stage with delightful performances, including dance and drama, which added a festive spirit to the celebration. To conclude the event, the Principal and School Manager distributed sweets to everyone, sharing in the joy of the day.
Rakshabandhan (August 17, 2024)
The kids engaged in a Rakhi-making activity, tying rakhis to each other and learning about the significance of this festival of sibling love.
Rakshabandhan’s origins can be traced back to Hindu mythology and historical events.
The word ‘Raksha’ means protection, and ‘Bandhan’ means bond.
This festival symbolizes the duty of brothers to protect their sisters and the love between siblings.
Krishna Janmashtami (August 25, 2024)
To celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna, our children crafted flutes and decorated pots.
Some students dressed up as Radha and Krishna for dance performances, bringing the stories of Krishna’s childhood to life.
Janmashtami has been celebrated for millennia across India.
Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu, is revered for his playful nature as a child and his profound teachings as an adult, as captured in the Bhagavad Gita.
National Sports Day (August 29, 2024)
In honour of hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand’s birthday, we organized lemon races for younger students and a cricket match for seniors.
We used this opportunity to highlight the importance of sports in education and overall development.
“Good Touch, Bad Touch” Workshop
Recognizing the critical importance of child safety in today’s society, we conducted a workshop on “Good Touch, Bad Touch,” led by our Principal.
This interactive session aimed to educate students about recognizing appropriate and inappropriate touch, empowering them to speak up and seek help if needed.
Looking Ahead
At Sansar Gyaan Pathshala, we believe that these activities and celebrations play a crucial role in our students’ education. They not only preserve our rich cultural heritage but also instill important values and life skills in our children.
We are committed to continuing this holistic approach to education, blending academic learning with cultural awareness and practical life skills. Our goal is to nurture well-rounded individuals who are rooted in their culture yet ready to face the challenges of the modern world.
We invite you to support our mission of empowering rural children through education. Together, we can cultivate a brighter future, one child at a time.
