Village School Competition - Part I

[ Blood Donation in Emergency : Registration Form Link ]

This is 150th birth anniversary of Vivekananda, the inspiration for all of us. At national level, NSS is carrying out special drive to generate awareness on life and teachings of Vivekananda. We at IIT Kharagpur decided to conduct first an intra-school competition with award giving function at school
level. The topic would be from or on Vivekananda's life or message appropriate for age group. The function will also give an opportunity to delve deeper. We have 16 primary school or Sarva Shiksha Kendra (SSK) and 3 high schools in neighbouring villages / slums taken care of by our student volunteers.  We wanted to follow up this with an inter-school competition to be held on April 06, 2013 at Gargi, Maitreyee Halls and Kalidas Auditorium of the institute.

We are thankful to IIT Kharagpur administration to provide all facilities as they always do for any such effort taken up by our young students. We are thankful to Dean, Students Affairs, our Director and all concerned for the funding support as the fund that is supposed to come from NSS hierarchy has become random and unpredictable with pile up of dues. We also thank campus community for their generous response to various other activities taken up by our student team. In this post, we present some pictures received from student volunteers on how they celebrated the event at two primary schools this month. More to follow.
