Activities Update
Maiden Science Fare at our Mohyal Colony School
The maiden science fair at our Mohyal Colony Education Centre gave Shiksha students of classes 6-8 the opportunity to experience the practices of science for themselves. The working models were made with low cost material. But their value in terms of showcasing the students confidence, innovation, knowledge and technical skills was immeasurable.
Besides the models created, what was on display was great team work as our students collaborated in teams to explore and express their creative scientific ideas in the form of working models.
Activities update:
Sports Day Fun
57 students from our Education Centre at Mohyal Colony and 54 students from our Education Centre at Wazirabad participated in the event. Students of both the Shiksha institutions competed with each other.
Shiksha is honoured with the Indian CSR Social Impact Award, 2024
Shiksha's response to the Pandemic
Education
No or limited access to smart devices or internet facilities was our biggest challenge. We provided free tablets to students of Class 4 and above and tied up with the experts to conduct classes remotely.
Medical Aid
Primary health care and free vaccinations to our older students and alumni were provided via our sister non-profit, “Chikitsa”.
Nutrition
Free supply of nutritious midday meals or free food rations was maintained throughout the lockdown and COVID-19 pandemic; our dedicated staff also free distributed hundreds of Kilos of basic essentials like rice, dal, cooking oil to the underprivileged.
masks & Hygiene kits
Masks and hygiene kits, including soap and sanitizers, were free distributed to Shiksha students and their families and others living nearby.
Independence Day celebrations at our schools in Wazirabad and Mohyal Colony, Gurugram
Both schools were buzzing with enthusiasm and energy for our 78th Independence Day. The students put their heart and soul into their performances. And our dedicated teams of teachers and staff made sure the events were conducted flawlessly.
Class 8 Farewell
A get-together with a message
Graduating class 8 is just one small step for our students. We hope that they will go on to complete class 12 and may be even college.
The students, their parents and teachers got together to celebrate graduation from Shiksha Education Trust school. We counselled them about the importance of further education, with special mention of importance of educating the girls.
We also promised all assistance in helping them get admission into a new school. And in fact at any stage of life be it securing admission for higher studies, or vocational training after they complete schooling.
