In this discussion, Sadaf Jafar, spokesperson, Congress, said, “We must rise beyond political differences and collectively fight against structural violence that women face.” She also advised students, to read the manifesto of the party before voting and give the vote to a party which they think will help to build a better nation.

I see confident young women here who are capable of becoming strong political leaders in the future and I hope we will have more participation of women in politics in the future”.

Craft Mela organized by Study Hall Junior School

Posted on by

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.
