Life skills are a set of personal skills and social characteristics that an individual needs for safe and effective interaction with himself or with other people and the local community.
We focus on imparting life skill education to the students to develop confidence in communication and cooperation skills, provide them with important development tools, find new ways of thinking and problem-solving methods, and provide methods for socializing, making new friends, and identifying behavioral influences. Our teachers and special educators carefully assess the learning of various life skills among students through activities, workshops, and programs organized in school.
Sensory Augmentation through Blindfold Exercises
It is the brain that sees, hears and senses
touch, taste and smell. Through neuroplasticity, we can re-wire the brain
to see with the sense of touch or sound etc.
Brighter Minds reports sensory substitution in children using simple blind- fold exercises. This has been observed to correlate to the child’s improved creative and intuitive abilities.
The response of the students and parents has been positive and students have reported enhanced focus and concentration, greater sense of self-belief, confidence, and inner peace. Special ability among these students to read and draw with a blindfold, using their intuition and sensory augmentation.
Brain Exercises
Students are introduced to a total of 10 brain exercises and were made to practice them daily. With time, their ability to do these complex exercises was reduced and they were able to do them without any error. The exercises were both challenging and fun. Brain Enriching Music and Heartfulness Relaxation
Enriching music helps to increase the level of focus, concentration and sharpens the memory. Children were made to listen to it at least once a day. This can be done while studying or going to bed. During the Brighter Minds Training Programme, students felt relaxed after listening to the music and showed enhanced intuitive ability after the
relaxation session.
Donations to NGO
Embracing the motto “Service Before Self,” the students donate ration to the Asha Deep Foundation, a NGO. Students visited the NGO, interacting with underprivileged children, discussing aspirations, and even visiting their school and residence.
This initiative truly exemplifies our commitment to making a positive impact. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all the students who generously donated goods today.
Anubhuti – A Village Panorama Programme
A day and night camp under “Anubhuti: A Village Panorama Program” for students of
Classes V to VII at the school campus. 110 students and 10 teachers participated in the camp, which aimed to train the students to live independently with enjoyment and recreation by spending time with each other and bonding in a new environment. The adventurous programme was full of fun activities where the children had no targets or competitions in mind. Some of the key attractions for the kids were a black pottery workshop conducted by Padmabhushan Shivratan Prajapati from Azamgarh, a workshop on candle and soap making, a chocolate making session, team building leadership activities, indigenous games, a bonfire with music and dance, and bedtime stories. Yoga and meditation sessions were also conducted for the children.
Initiatives for student engagement in school decision making process
Involving student council in planning and execution of policies: Being a member of the
Student Council empowers students with the responsibility to establish rules, maintain
decorum, and uphold the school’s dignity. With the purpose of establishing a positive and
collaborative culture among the students, the student council is given exhaustive training
and guidance to take on leadership roles on behalf of the entire student body.

It enables the students to develop cultural competencies and gain experience by working in a variety of cultural communities. The school conducted a two-day operation for capacity building to disseminate information about the virus.
