The Citizenship Programme, Shramdaan and Community Outreach

Five years ago, School took on an initiative to engender awareness about students rights and responsibilities as future citizens of the country and to empower these young citizens of tomorrow with life skills. The Citizenship Programme firmly believes in exploring avenues beyond academic milestones and that a solid moral and ethical foundation supports the development of compassion, integrity, commitment, selflessness, respect, responsibility and resourcefulness to constitute in making a child into a GOOD CITIZEN. The Classroom Curriculum includes discussions on various topics on improving a personality, environmental issues, current affairs and politics with the help of recorded inspirational/motivational talk shows and inviting prominent personalities to conduct workshops to stir up the minds of students into a brainstorming discussion.

SHRAM DAAN IS an invaluable learning which we seek to instill in our children. The value of offering a little bit of one's own time and toil for helping to alleviate the misery of another.

The children hand-make items at School like soap, candles, tea-lights, paintings, potted plants, diyas, and herbal holi colors. The collections are personally handover to charities at regular intervals which include wheel chairs to senior citizens, funding surgeries for orphans, sponsoring meals for abandoned senior citizens and the most impressive one is adopting markets for Cleanliness Campaigns! Our children also write, enact, and direct Nukkad Nataks to sensitise communities on environmental issues. Every year, students, teachers and parents alike, eagerly await the announcement of the Certificates of appreciation for outstanding contribution to The Citizenship Programme!

We hope to spread message of The Citizenship Programme to other schools of Delhi and around the country so that more and more schools like us realise that the aim of education is not only to prepare children for a career but also to prepare them to face all the challenges of life besides sparing a bit of themselves for the community.
