• Itihaas- A very gripping and competitive Photo quiz conducted on famous heros of the nation and milestones in history was yet another successful endeavour taken up by Aarambh. The students did an excellent job in jogging their memory on historic knowledge and we were glad to have instilled a greater sense of awareness among the students on the legacy of those legends.
• Prerana- A painting exhibition organised by Aarambh implicitly revealed the marvellous artistic talent of our volunteers. Their sketches of the national leaders were a visual feast. Their impeccable talent and their psychedelic artwork took us by awe and rendered us speechless.
• Katha- This was an initiative by the seniors to narrate inspiring stories to the juniors in order to motivate them to achieve great feats in life. The response was very heartening. It did achieve its objective of igniting young minds.
• Sankriti- Indian Culture, music and dance. This is what the nation is revered for all across the globe. We have received an amazing response from students and this event proved to be an excellent platform for the students to showcase their talents.
•Hausla- the most satisfying and fulfilling experience the volunteers have had by far. We reached out to more than 500-1000 volunteers in a day: interacted with the kids, introduced them to the legacy of Swami Vivekananda and his principles and made every kid see a Swami Vivekananda in herself or himself. The kids and faculty alike thoroughly enjoyed the session and were happy beyond measure about the eventful day.
