Freedom club

The Child’s mind is the most fertile resource. Hence planting moral values is of immense importance. We, at RSVK, believe in developing individuals with strength of character by catching them young. Children’s SSY, Advanced SSY, Fun Club, ISP are some of the tools that help us in our journey. And what we get out of these playful and interactive sessions is a band of future citizens who set a bench mark of a developed head, heart and mind.

Retreat

The Retreat, after SSY is a treat for the mind, body and soul. The villagers experienced the highest form of bliss through meticulously designed processes. A paradoxical experience that brings freedom through bonding, bestows a sense of moodiness in everybodiess and gives a reason to be happy without a reason. The participants returned after unwrapping the gift of life, taking it on with a cheerful grin.

Villagers stayed at the Katarkhadak ashram for the Retreat and experienced silence that seeing godliness in everything around brings.

Clean Katarkhadak

When beautiful people come together, beautiful things happen.’ One such experience was the coming together of the city children, the Gurukulam family and the villagers. The collective energy was thus directed towards creating, maintaining and recreating clean environs. On the festive occasion of Holi, before the Holi fire is lit, everyone got together to make the surroundings plastic- free. We envisioned a clean Katakhadak village and worked towards manifesting it.

Books distribution

Books are uniquely portable magic.’ And we decided to create this magic for our village children, youth and women by distributing books. In collaboration with CAN, an NGO that connected with us on this project, we gifted books to students and women whom we interact with on a daily basis under our character building and leadership and women empowerment programs respectively.

Offering of RSVK

Rishi SamskruthiVidhya Kendra collected the books from CAN organization and shouldered the responsibility of distributing it those interested.

Food seva at the village temple

In the loving memory of Pujya  Guruji , on his punyateethi , besides chanting mantras and performing pooja , we came forward to cook and  serve Annaprasad to all the villagers. Having food with the villagers in the temple premises developed a soul connect between us. Guruji always said,” Whenever we get closer to the heart of a common man, we get closer to our vision.”

Aanganwadi teachers isp

Character -building is always a work in progress! But it begins right from infancy. Handling children skillfully right from childhood calls for a lot of awareness.  ISP –Infant SSY program is an experiential workshop that guides parents and teachers to bring about overall balanced development of a child covering their Physical, Mental, Social, Emotional and Spiritual faculties. 

Earlier Aanganwadi teachers experienced stress and put in efforts without expected results as they lacked awareness. Their raw approach and corporal punishment failed to get them desired results.

Offering of RSVK

Rishi SamskruthiVidhya Kendra created awareness of this program and enrolled parents and teachers of the aanganwadi to experience ease while dealing with children. We conducted training and also provided necessary skills in the area of parenting and teaching. Currently we have trained 38 aanganwadi teachers which directly impacts 16000 children below 6 years. The program continues to touch lives of children, parents and teachers making learning, teaching and parenting a joyful experience.

Clean India

‘Be the change you wish to see in the world.’  Practically implementing this, the Cleanliness Drive taken up by us , aims at motivating the villagers to adopt cleanliness as a way of life. By walking the talk, the Rishi Gurukulam students, teachers, staff and workers themselves keep inspiring the villagers. The village children, students and grown ups are  encouraged to participate in these activities so that later on they maintain cleanliness of their own accord.
