The
formal inauguration of the event began by offering garlands to Shri
Thakorji and P. P. Swamiji as a mark of reverence followed by the
school tradition of offering the school prayer “Oh Lord! Hold my hand…”
which was presented by the choir group (Grades 1st to 5th) to invoke
the Gods to bless all and to make the event successful. After this, a
GuruBhakti song led by Somnath Sir along with the choir team (Grades
6th to 10th) was presented to offer their obeisance to all our Gurus.
Brilliance
was bound to come out of Atmiya Vidya Mandir’s pupils as two students,
Niramay Mehta (Grade 1st) and Tarak Trivedi (Grade 2nd) left the
audience spellbound by their wonderful and courageous style of
anchoring. In the later part of the program, students from different
standards came forward to anchor the different items of the program.
Thus, the anchoring was completely taken up by some confident, fluent
and brilliant speeches by students.
Tanmay
Patel from Grade 7th and Sahishnu Patel from Grade 9th shared with the
audience their experience about Atmiya Vidya Mandir in their own words.
In their short but effective speech, they had uncovered a few important
aspects of teaching learning process, role of teachers in student’s
life and school culture at Atmiya Vidya Mandir.
The
next item was dance presented on a patriotic song “Zameen Zameen”
performed by students from Grades 6th to 9th and choreographed by
Suhradam Sir. The theme of this dance was chosen so as to instill in
the young minds a feeling of patriotism and to convey a message to the
audience to spread peace and harmony in the society. The dance was well
synchronized with a video displayed on a huge cinema style screen on
the stage.
This
was followed by a thought-provoking speech by Prajval Sir, who was
representing the devotional and dedicated staff from U.K and U.S
deputed by P.P Swamiji to contribute as an instrument to fulfill His
dream to prepare the individuals who are socially, morally and
culturally strong. He unfolded the multi-dimensional progress in the
teaching- learning field and the contribution of technology which is
evidently a part of Atmiya Vidya Mandir’s teaching style. He concluded
that the aim of this institution was to prepare students to help become
“Global citizens with an Indian heart”.
The
next item was a play titled “Atmiya Shilpi” presented by students from
1st to 5th Grades and organized by Saumya Madam and Nirali Madam. The
theme of the play was to underpin the importance of undergoing pains
and hardship in our life. Also, the drama portrayed in a simple manner
the importance of parents and teachers in the life of students by
giving the example of a gardener who trims the plant for its proper and
symmetrical growth. Just as gold glitters more after burning, the same
is the case with human beings. The more they bear, the stronger they
grow. Besides, the play conveyed the message to the students that it
was equally important to give authority to parents and teachers to
mould them. The play was so touching and heart rendering, it won the
applause of all those who witnessed it.
Mr.
Yogesh Raval, Principal, Atmiya Vidya Mandir left the audience
mesmerized by his inspiring speech. He emphasized on the following
points:
1. Swamiji’s
vision for students of Atmiya Vidya Mandir that wherever they will be
in the future, they shall always remain loyal to their parents, the
society and the nation.
2. Swamiji’s untiring and awe-inspiring efforts and personal involvement for the all round development of each and every child
3. Channelizing the energy through the medium of education.
4. Importance of the involvement of parents in this all round development of the students.
He
also focused on value based education and positive thinking and
conveyed that a little inspiration could make a lot of difference in a
student’s life. He shared his thoughts that it is a moral obligation of
any institution to help mould good citizens of the world and about the
humble efforts of Atmiya Vidya Mandir to provide the right nurturing
and quality education to the students.
Then
it was time for the final and much awaited event of the day of getting
blessings from P.P. Swamiji. He appealed to the people to maintain a
positive approach towards others. His love and care for the students
was quite evident in his insistence for them to be regular, sincere and
hardworking.
This
event also marked a step further in the direction of stage setup and
decoration. Our teachers used multi-rear projection technology to
create a digital backdrop to project on a 40x15 feet wide screen which
made the program even more presentable.
The
event concluded with a sumptuous dinner served to everyone on the
campus. Many witnessed tears of joy on the faces of parents and guests
and many were still in awe having seen the young wonders of Atmiya
Vidya Mandir handle the entire event with such confidence and
naturality.
