Valentine’s day is celebrated across the world. But does the occasion act as a sales promotion or a symbol of modernity? Why are Indians so crazy about this day? Why are Indian parents encouraging their wards about this? Why are they making a fuss about it? Friends, we should stop aping the west otherwise we might destroy our Indian values.

Valentine’s day is a much-awaited day for youngsters. The curiosity of “who will be whose Valentine” and parents getting suspicious about their wards adds to the excitement.
But now it has become a day for various commercial establishments to bring out cards and cash in on the festivity. We have to admit that it is a boost to Indian economy. So why object to it?

The mood on the Vidya Bharati Chinmaya Vidyalaya campus was upbeat during our silver jubilee celebration. Our school completed 25 years of educating the youth. To commemorate the successful completion, a cultural programme was organised by the teachers and students. Our school principal also launched our school website on the occasion. The audience was enthralled with the students, decked in blue costumes, on stage during one of their performances. After 25 years of dedicated service to society, now we aim to reach new heights and excellence in the field.

The quality circle team of ADLS Sunshine School, “Roots” presented their work on “road safety”, as part of the Traffic Safety Week, at Michael John Auditorium recently.
The presentation had won us the Deming Award at the International Convention of Quality Circle at Lucknow last year.
The concluding programme of the safety week was organised entirely by the students of our school.
The compere for the show was our school principal and a nukkad natak was also put up.
It has been our endeavour to give our best to society and therefore our quality circle topics too aim to solve problems concerning the city at large. We hope to keep working and contributing in our own little way.

Our motto at Kerala Samajam Model School is to bring quality in everything that we do.
Keeping this in mind, a “quality week” was organised in the school, which saw various quality circles of different classes compete with each other.
Both teachers and students into groups in the quality circles.
The main work of these quality circles is to work on problems plaguing students and find solutions to them. Students from Classes IV to XI presented their work on various issues from poor handwriting to noise pollution. A poster competition was also held as part of the contest.

Tiny tots of kindergarten and Class 1 of Kerala Public School, Kadma mesmerised the audience at a quiz contest conducted here recently.
Questions like “give the rhyming word for cane” or “would you be able to fly if you had wings” set the young minds in a frenzy.
The contestants seemed to have enjoyed the whole educational programme as their faces beamed to the thunderous applause of the audience.
The multi-coloured question cards also made the whole event a cheerful affair. Navin Chandra and Jagriti Das of upper KG and Nikhil Mittal and Priyani Deshmukh of Class I, were declared the winners respectively.

Serving fellow human beings is serving God. The interact club members of Loyola School set out to prove the proverb true with a recently held shoe-drive. The young interactors pulled up their socks and went to all the classes urging students to contribute their old shoes.After receiving a positive response from the high school and junior school, they distributed their booty among the Hindi school students of Loyola.
For basketball players with a spark of genius, the elite sports-shoes came as a blessing in disguise.
The interactors have also been a helping hand to the doctors who visit the Alumni every Saturday. Doing their own bit, these bubbly kids wish to secure a place in the hearts of the less privileged.
