JGRVK has already seen some of the breath-taking events in the last two months. The live actions that

had been taking place in the class-room situations are worth mentioning. Education in this institution is

factual and real. It is said that "education is the manifestation of the perfection that is already in man" and

this is rightly proved here. Every morning is a new learning day and this never ending process of learning is

truly beneficial for the future citizens of the country. Let us now have a glimpse of all the events that took

place in the past two months….

JGRVK has implemented a new tool for imparting education which is known as the interactive board. This effective board can be called 'a little genius' as it is immensely helpful. However, operateing this board needs a lot of skill and practice. Therefore, a

trainer from the EDURITE group had come to train the faculty of the school. Mr. Naveen conducted an interactive training session which was quite interesting and beneficial at the same time. Teachers were taught how to use the board easily with the board pen. The hardware part of the board was also explained. The

GURU PURNIMA - A PERFECT TIME TO THANK OUR GURUS….

“Ajnaanang Timiraaandhasya

Tasmai Sree Gurave Namah!”

With the blessings from our Gurus, the event of Gurupurnima took place in JGRVK campus on 15th July, 2011 which was a Friday. The

whole school took part in the auspicious celebration and enjoyed the flow of energy in great heaps. The programme started at 8.30 a.m. It started with the holy lines of

“गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुः गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः |गुरुः साक्षात ्

परब्रह्म तस्म ैश्रीगुरव ेनमः ||” followed by Guru Vandana (salutations to the Guru). The programme was highlighted on the significance of the 'Guru' and his major role and responsibility in moulding his students. The speakers of

the day focused on the importance of the Guru and shad-gunas. 'Guru' in India, holds a supreme significance. Guru is a person with revered personality, who by his teachings enlightens us. He introduces us to the vast world of knowledge and shuns ou r ignorance. He teaches us, he guides us and he protects us from all sorts of dangers and sins. Perhaps, that's the reason why Kabir in one of his songs said, that if God and Guru stand side by side, the first adoration and worship

should be offered to Guru and then to God. This is because through Guru we can recognize a n d r e a l i z e t h e significance of God.

TRAINING ON INTERACTIVE BOARD: AN INFORMATIVE SESSION

session went on extensively for two consecutive days (16.7.11 & 17.7.11) and the teachers were given a chance to practice and learn on the Interactive Board. With the help of the board, the lesson plan, the study material, the research work etc can be prepared with great ease. Any thing on any subject if you want information, this magic board will present it in front of you.

The man, who made the above declaration in India was imprisoned, he was none other than Bal Gangadhar Tilak. The fight for India's freedom had begun.

It reached the Sanskrit school. “Bharat Mata ki Jai”…. “Vande Mathram”…. “Inkulab Zinda Bad” ……. “Mahatma Gandhi ki Jai”…… all these patriotic words were uttered by a young boy who was just fifteen years of age. He was punished because he was one among this procession. He was none other than our Chandrashekar Azad. These

slogans are still echoing in the hearts of every Indian. In memory of these two great personalities we celebrated Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Chandrashekar Azad's Jayanti on 23rd July 2011. This day was a special moment in the life of every student as they felt that both Tilak and Azad were in front of their eyes.
