SSY KENDRA PIMPOLI

We took one more confident step towards our mission of rural development by setting up a new Kendra for Zilla Parishad schools at Pimpale village.

 

  Three projects that we have started with are-  Enhancing English reading and writing skills to help students communicate better.  Computer proficiency to help them handle technology  and Advanced SSY fun games to help them bond better with everyone and experience togetherness  among themselves. These projects are an initiative to make the students  more self-reliant by building up their self-esteem.

Our Rural  Development team members take turns to conduct regular sessions with the students. The centre aims to be the focal point for future activities planned to bring about a positive difference in the lives of these rural children. 

Children SSY… Making a Difference

To help children blossom,   we added a dash of sunshine in their lives with our Children SSY class conducted at Vadgavan and Dhonde village at Rajgurunagar. Sponsored by Bilcare, the initiative aims at empowering children with a vision for a brighter tomorrow. Coloured with stories, drawings and drama, the  activities in the workshop aid in making them responsible citizens.

Dinesh ji along with Dipesh conducted the sessions in the most fun filled manner. Making creative board and banners post the session so that they can be with the same energy!

Rural children visit Gurukulam

Having embarked on a journey from self-development to Global development through Children’s SSY, Khamboli and Andhale village school kids visited their Gurukulam counterparts. This std.1 to 4 village school students shared their takeaways from the SSY programmer in their last session which was held at Gurukulam itself. Theinteraction between the future world leaders was a sight to behold. And we are more than happy to be a part of this metamorphosis.

Our SSY teachers Prabhakarji and Dinesh who led the session arranged for the  visit to the  Gurukulam and the rendezvous with the students.

Learning made fun for Rural kids

Children SSY

A seed has everything in it to create a thousand forests. All it requires is a consider environment for growth. Taking this forward, a Freedom Club has been set up for children from grade 1 across grade 7. The purpose is to create an environment for children to realize the importance of values in the most friendly and enjoyable way. The program acts as a launch pad for children to realize their inner greatness and express it in their day –to – day dealings with others. This play-way method of value inculcation borrows from techniques of Children SSY program. It inspires every child to shine his light by displaying values such as Truth, Love, Peace, Responsibility, Acceptance, Leadership and Integrity.

Rishi Samskruthi Vidya Kendra in association with Bilcare Research could offer this wonderful experience to the children and conduct children SSY program for them. This helps us expand our reach to places beyond Mulshi area and everywhere around India.
