helps us to understand emotions and thoughts of the

others.

'Baal Patrika Nirman' Activity

Poetry is an expression of one’s emotions, feelings

using aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language. It

dictates of linguistic rules. With the aim of providing

a platform to

students to express

themselves, the

Hindi Department

organised 'Kavi

Sammelan' for the

students of class

IX in the month of

January,2019.

This activity helped build team spirit in the

classrooms, as

classmates

read poetry

together and

shared their

own favorite

poems like

‘Agnipath,

Koshish Karne

Walon ki Kabhi Haar Nahi Hoti-by Harivansh Rai

Bachan’, ‘Kabir aur Rahim ke Dohe’, 'Ek Phool ki

Chah-by Siyaram Sharan Gupt’ This activity was

conducted in classrooms as well as in open areas of

the school. There was great zeal among the budding

poets to express their views and emotions in front of

the audience that enjoyed and appreciated the efforts

put in by the participants.

activity from 21st January, 2019 to 25th January,

odd students,

teachers and parents

from across the

country at the

Talkatora Stadium,

the Prime Minister

shared tips to help

students handle exam

stress as the board exams are round the corner.

Responding to a query, he cited a poem by Hindi poet

Gopaldas Neeraj. He asked parents to steer away

from unreal expectations from children and added

that the report card of their children should not be

treated as their visiting cards. The Prime Minister

also said that parents should not unfairly expect their

wards to bear the burden of their unfulfilled dreams.

Saying that expectations are essential since we cannot

thrive in an atmosphere of despair and unhappiness,

the Prime Minister added "every child has his or her

own potential

and strengths. It

is important to

understand the

positives of

every child."

The Prime

Minister also

told students

not to be totally

relaxed before

an exam but to ask themselves if this present exam is

the exam of their life or just an exam for a particular

grade like class 10 or 12. Once they know the answer

to this question, the pressure on them was bound to

reduce. The students were rapt listeners to the

interaction.
