Independence Day -2019

August 16, 2019

Thousands laid down their lives so that our children can live in a country free of hunger and fear, free of illiteracy and want. What better way to remember their sacrifice than to imbibe their vice and virtues in these young hearts, forever. Independence day is celebrated with lots of colour and vigour in the schools. Many activities like fancy-dress, rangoli competition, processions etc outline the celebrations. Vidhyadaanam is proud to support this year’s fancy-dress competitions and their awards in 6 designated schools. We hope to carry on this association through various such events.

The child’s ability is measured on a learning ladder and the entire process is split into milestones or phases for every subject. The child can asses his progress himself.It relies on joyful learning and is child-centered. Peers are the first source for help. To master every milestone, the child has to go…

Nali-kali started in 1995, as a small UNICEF-assisted pilot project in H. D. Kote, Mysore District. Searching for ways to revitalize primary schools, a group of 15 primary school teachers and administrators went to Rishi Valley (Madanapalle, Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh) to study the satellite schools where children in multi-grade classrooms were learning to read, write and unleash their creativity in a joyful and exciting environment.

Seeing everyone at the toll especially the kids – half asleep but already pumped up at 6am, the newbies-who had no idea who the others were or what they were going to do, the repeaters- who knew their roles and were…
