 National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 
Teacher's sessions/ meetings play a vital role in fostering a collaborative, informed, and supportive teaching environment, ultimately benefiting both educators and students. On November 23, 2023 (Thursday), a session was conducted by Ms. Bharti Rao and Ms. Prerna Rathod on the National Curriculum Framework (NCF). Some key points that were discussed include:
  • The framework provides the basis for creating syllabi, textbooks, and teaching practices within the school education program in India.
  • It is a policy based on earlier government reports on education, such as 'learning without burden.' The framework promotes the child’s well-balanced and harmonious development.
  • It guides teaching decisions at different stages of teaching styles in schools.
  • The session provided valuable insights into enhancing children's education by combining play-based learning, effective memorization strategies, and the integration of nature experiences.

 गुरु नानक जयंती 
गुरु नानक जयंती एक बहुत ही खास दिन है। यह त्योहार हमें गुरु नानक देव जी के जीवन और उनके सिखाए गए अच्छे कार्यों की याद दिलाता है। गुरु नानक देव जी ने हमें सिखाया कि हमें सभी लोगों के साथ अच्छे व्यवहार करना चाहिए और हमें एक दूसरे की मदद करनी चाहिए। उनका महत्वपूर्ण संदेश था "एक ओंकार", जिससे हमें यह सिखने को मिलता है कि हम सभी एक ही परमात्मा के साथ जुड़े हुए हैं। इस दिन, हम गुरुद्वारे जाते हैं और वहां पर कीर्तन गाते हैं। हम एक दूसरे के साथ प्यार भरे भावना से मिलते हैं और सिखते हैं कि हमें हमेशा सच्चे और नेक कामों में लगना चाहिए।
इस खास दिन को हमें उत्साह और आत्मविश्वास के साथ मनाना चाहिए। गुरु नानक जयंती हमें एक बेहतर इंसान बनने की मार्गदर्शन करती है और हमें सच्चे धर्म के मूल्यों का पालन करने के लिए प्रेरित करती है।

 What's beauty? 
Everyone has different beauty and unique qualities. I believe we need to learn to love our qualities and be comfortable with the fact that everyone is different. Beauty is not in the clothes we wear, the figure we carry, or the way we comb our hair. True beauty is seen in our eyes because that is the doorway to our heart, the place where love resides. It is reflected in our soul, in the caring we lovingly give and the passion we show.
The late actress and humanitarian, Audrey Hepburn, had this to say when asked about her 'beauty tips':
For attractive lips... Speak with words of kindness.
For lovely eyes... Seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure... Share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair... Let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise... Walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed... Never throw out anybody.

 Benefits of Educational Tours 
Educational trips enhance students' knowledge as they encounter information not found in textbooks. Additionally, these trips often take students to locations they have never visited before. Encouraging students to document information about the places visited creates lasting memories and deepens their understanding.
These trips facilitate the learning process by introducing a change in the study environment, offering a refreshing alternative to the classroom. This change is particularly beneficial for subjects that require heightened attention, as it helps alleviate boredom and makes the learning experience more effective.
Educational trips provide students with unique experiences not available in books or purchasable with money. These experiences contribute to improved learning outcomes and offer teachers an opportunity to impart moral values. Instilling moral values is crucial for nurturing disciplined and excellent students who take pride in upholding the school's reputation within the community.
Furthermore, educational trips spark students' interest in learning, especially for those who thrive in real study environments. By materialising learning experiences, these trips significantly enhance students' learning skills and overall academic performance.

 विज्ञान और जीवन 
विज्ञान ने अलग अनेक चमत्कारिक आविष्कार किए हैं| इसने मनुष्य के लिए व्यक्तिगत, सामाजिक तथा आर्थिक जीवन में आश्चर्य जनक परिवर्तन ला दिए हैं| विज्ञान के चमत्कारों ने संसार की दूरियां समाप्त कर दि हैं| हजारों वर्षों में जो उन्नति ना हो पाई वह पिछले डेढ़ सौ वर्षों में हो गई है| आज से सौ- दो सौ  वर्ष पूर्व का मनुष्य यदि धरती पर आए, तो उसे यह काल्पनिक दुनिया लगेगी| विद्युत के आविष्कार ने रात के अंधेरों को दिन में बदल दिया, विद्युत मशीने जो काम  कई 100 लोग करते थे उसे पल भर में कर देती हैं| पलक चपकट ही घंटों का काम मिनटों में हो जाता है| उद्योग धंधों में उत्पादन की मात्रा बढ़ गई है| आज बड़े-बड़े उद्योग स्वचालित मशीनों से युक्त है|
