HOBBIES / CLUB ACTIVITIES

All-round development means mental, physical, psychological, spiritual and vocational development. We cannot achieve this all-round development by following mere class room teaching-learning procedures. Here the relevance of Club Activities becomes prominent. It is one of the co-curricular activities that are gaining much importance these days. These activities are mostly voluntary for students. Every student of the JNV is to be a member of at least one club. Similarly every teacher should be attached to any one of the clubs. Vidyalaya can give provision for the conduct of club activities in the monthly calendar. Last two periods, preferably, on any one of the days, once in fort night may be exclusively reserved for club activities. All the in-charge teachers and associated teachers are to sit together with all the club members for planning their activities on the first club activity day of the year. Accordingly activities are to be organized on the subsequent club activity days. All teachers after considering the interest of the students and discussing with each student may finalize the club members. Principal and the concerned teachers to ensure that all the children are involved in the club activities and each club should emerge as a resource centre. Every JNV will properly plan, prepare and implement the club activities for the academic year 2020-21.

Art in Education

The quality education in Jawahar Navodaya Vidayalayas is ensured through Art in Education Programme by linking community and the school. Art in Education within the context of the Residential Culture of NVS becomes the parennial source of flow of creative energy. Art in Education becomes an opportunity for students to learn and understand, express and interpret life. It is the cooperative effort latent in a residential school system as well as in the Art in Education Programme which provides a springboard for the advancement of students towards creative dimensions of their personality. Integration through art is a way of achieving unity in midst of diversity of tradition through the Art in Education Programme. In addition to developing values of national Integration, a strong component of culture has been provided for NVS students by organizing different kinds of performing art, craft, visual art, music and theatre workshops each year in the Art in Education programmes. Training is given to students in the performing art, craft, music and visual art forms that are prevalent in their area. The artists and experts who are invited to train the children in a JNV generally belong to the same area in which the JNV is located. Thus, both students and experts share cultural affinities as well as knowledge of local practices and customs. Often, this has resulted in not only acquainting with the cultural heritage of their area but has also helped preserve that heritage through the activities of the children.

Green Corps

Environment has been on the agenda of schools for a long time. But everything is piecemeal, done as standalone activities. Green Schools Programme (GSP) conducted by Centre of Science & Environment (CSE), Delhi will put all these under one common roster, explains why they were being done, that is, the objective of the programmes, and then measure their impact. The primary objective is to help the students and teachers to grasp that vital link between environment and everyday life. The future citizens of India must be made aware of the scale of the problem that assails the country’s state of environment. Five groups i.e. Air, Land, Water, Energy and Waste; consisting of Teaching, Non-teaching staff members along with 10 students (in each group) have been constituted under Green School Programme conducted by Centre of Science & Environment (CSE), Delhi to Address the urgent need to introduce meaningful environmental education at the school level in India.
