Socio-Cultural Development

 Socio – Cultural Development

The burgeoning youth of India makes our nation one of the youngest countries in the world. No wonder, there is talk of India’s ‘Demographic Dividend’ and if channelled right during their formative years, these Change-makers can start contributing to society quite early on by involving its students in home grown projects/schemes like SETU, Open Arms Project, Model United Nations Environment Assembly to name just a few.

These initiatives are not only about making life better for the marginalised, the less fortunate and the physically challenged, but also seek to answer burning topical questions of climate and environment. Of course, it’s a quid pro quo. While tentative steps to bring positive changes in society are introduced with students’ active participation in socio-economic and environmental causes, the former too learn traits like team work and leadership, making them evolve into responsible and aware citizens of the country.

 The open ARMS Project – Inclusive Education

The journey to becoming an Inclusive School may be long and challenging at times, but ultimately this journey can strengthen a school community and benefit ALL children. “Inclusion” does not simply mean the placement of students with disabilities in general education classes. This process must incorporate fundamental change in the way a school community supports and addresses the individual needs of each child. In 2018, Little Scholars incorporated ‘The open ARMS project after a pilot project carried out by their own students in collaboration with JSR Indu Samiti; a Residential School for the Specially Abled of creating a space within its curriculum planner which has now collaborated with other NGO’s and schools. As such, effective models of inclusive education not only benefit students with disabilities, but also create an environment in which every student; including those who do not have disabilities, has the opportunity to flourish.

One of the most important principles of inclusive education is that no two learners are alike, and so inclusive schools place great importance on creating opportunities for students to learn and be assessed in a variety of ways. Teachers therefore must consider a wide range of learning modalities (visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, etc.) in designing instruction and help diversify the educational experience of the students.

JSR Indu Samiti

The school dedicated to PWDs is divided into three departments.

i. Educational: Special Educators specialized in the respective fields, along with volunteers and part-time physiotherapists, speech therapists, and caretakers, provide a healthy learning environment to differently abled children belonging to the categories of Mental Retardation, Hearing Impaired, Visually Impaired, and Physically disabled.

ii. Residential: Residential facility, along with healthy meals, is provided to the students. Daily extra-curricular activities are designed by the Hostel warden to keep the students fresh and shining all the time.

iii. Vocational Training: Vocational training is provided to the students to make them self-reliant. Skill centre at JSR has a Computer lab, Sewing and Tailoring Lab, Electronics Lab, Sanitary and Plumbing Lab, Beauty Parlour cum Salon, Candle Making Lab, and Sweater Machine Room, wherein the students are trained in work with respect to their interest.

Khwahish is a humble effort by students and teachers to sow the seeds of primary education among the children as well as adults. Some of the students attend schools, while others are housewives or daily wage earners. The aim is to motivate people to come forward and share their valuable time and knowledge with these educationally malnourished sections. These souls appreciate even half an hour of your time. Though there’s nothing more important than your knowledge, donations are necessary too. Be a philanthropist by donating your time or money.

Apart from this, Khwahish works for animal welfare and has rescued more than 1000 stray animals to date. Visiting hours 4-6 pm.

Ashoka Changemaker Day

Little Scholars, Kashipur, and Ashoka Innovators collaborated to conduct Changemaker Day on Jan 23rd Saturday to promote the idea of “Everyone A Changemaker.”

Seven schools were a part of the event, and a total of 143 participants were present.

The event began with a presentation by Ms. Preethi Ramachandran, the coordinator from Ashoka. She elaborated on the Ashoka Young Changemakers community and introduced the two guest speakers for the day: Mr. Mathew Jose, the founder of Paperman, and Mr. Hitarth Seth, the founder of Buddhiman and Gujju Student.

They spoke about their journey as a changemaker, which followed an idea-pitching event by the students. Some honorable mentions are Quenching the Thirst of Animals by Gargi, Applied Learning Program by Prabhleen, and The Open Arms Project by Prisha. The participants received constructive feedback from the speakers at the end of their presentation. The next event was a Q&A round, where the students asked relevant questions to the speakers through the chatbox. The speakers answered them with precision and expertise that perhaps was a result of their intense experience.

The event ended on a positive note. The atmosphere was one of learning and development.

Harithkram

The students of Little Scholars Kashipur have always been in the forefront so far as ‘Environmental Awareness’ is concerned, making climate issues occupy the centrestage with their enthusiastic participation in such activities.

The same zeal was on display when Auli Arora, Parth Garg, and Prisha Bhalla represented the school in the three-day youth conference organized by Harithkram, the Environment Society of Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, Delhi.

The School Student Conference (SSC) by DUSF under its School Outreach Programme saw not only the coming together of Harithkram’s two flagship events — Delhi University Sustainability Forum (DUSF’20) and Harithkram Model United Nations Environment Assembly (HUMNEA’21), but also intense brainstorming, powerful debates, and ardent discussions among youngsters from different schools.

The participants of LS impressed one and all with their views, and the school was one of the seven shortlisted schools going to the next round.

Not only this, the children made it a moment to be savoured by the school when Little Scholars Kashipur was declared joint runners-up along with GHHS Edavilangu, Thrissur, Kerala.

We look forward to more such laurels from our talented bunch of children.

Little Scholars Model United Nations (MUN) Journey

The Model United Nations (MUN) journey at school Little Scholars likely began in 2017 with pioneering teachers Ms. Anju Singal and Ms. Annanya Tiwari, who saw the value in simulating international diplomacy for students. Since then, it has likely grown to become a platform for students to develop skills in research, public speaking, negotiation, and critical thinking while exploring global issues.

Winning 6 times the Best School Delegation Trophy from 2017 is an impressive achievement! It speaks volumes about the dedication, preparation, and talent of both the students and the teacher advisors involved in the MUN program.

Winning awards or achieving significant recognition at the IIMUN championship conference in Mumbai is undoubtedly a remarkable feat.

  • I.I.M.U.N. is the world’s largest youth-run non-profit organization.
  • I.I.M.U.N.’s vision is to unite the world, the Indian way by sensitizing tomorrow’s leaders, today.
  • I.I.M.U.N. aims to empower the youth to start taking initiatives in combating global problems on an individual level.
