On 12th October 2018 , to celebrate the birth anniversary of our Rajmata , the students of grade 7 and 8 went on a field visit to Vivekanand Needam to experience yogic knowledge.
During the visit, we enhanced our knowledge of yoga through an enthusiastic session of Suryanamaskar and some asans like tadasan , sarvangasan , bhujangasan etc. We also learnt different types of Pranayam like bhastrika and anolom vilom.
After relaxing for a while, we were eager to commence our tour of the ashram's campus. Firstly, we saw the beauty of kuccha houses and got to know how these humble dwellings stay cool in the heat of the summer season and warm during winter. We also got to know about their unique bio-gas plant and its function and usage in daily life . As we moved further, we were delighted to see different types of rodents and birds.
The most important part of our visit was cleaning the campus of Vivekanand Needam . Our service truly promoted the idea of 'Swach Bharat'. It was a great learning and fulfilling experience for all of us, and, we felt, a fitting way to observe the anniversary of our beloved Rajmata.

Twenty nine students of History and Sociology went on a heritage walk to Tansen's Tomb, Mohammad Gaus' Tomb and Gujri Mahal. (date needs to be mentioned).
Tansen's tomb is an ornate 15thcentuary (I think this should be 16th century, but please check) mausoleum with hexagonal towers, near the tomb of Sufi saint Mohammad Gaus. The mausoleum is endowed with intricate trellis work and is well maintained. Mohammad Gaus came to Gwalior in 1545; on his arrival people from far and wide went to him seeking solutions to their problems. So when Tansen's parents came to know about him, they, too, went to the saint asking for blessings on their child, who later grew to be the most renowned musician at the court of the Emperor Akbar.

The students also came to know the story behind the Gujri Mahal. It went like this: when Raja Maan Singh Tomar went to a village to hunt, he beheld a lady and fell madly in love with her. He wanted to marry her, but she put forth three conditions: one, she wanted him to provide her with the same environment as her village; two, the water in her new home should come from her own village; three, she would not adhere to the practice of being behind parda. These were the three reasons why the Gujri Mahal was built. (why needs to be mentioned)
Our excursion was also covered by the media. We had a question and answer session with the journalists of various newspapers like DANIK BHASKAR, NAI JEEVAN and PATRIKA. Students learned about the art and architecture of the buildings and also saw the 1st, 2nd and 5th century sculptures on display. The visit helped the students with their research project, providing them with good exposure to India's rich heritage, while providing them with some career choices they could consider after school.

Sand is melted in the big furnace (which is also Asia's biggest furnace) and glass is then moulded into different shapes. With the help of aluminium, bulb caps are made. It is then passed through various stages to make the final product- bulbs and tube lights.
The students also got a chance to see the LED section where assembling of LED bulbs was going on. All the raw material used in this section is imported from China.
The students asked many questions about the raw materials that were being used, the chemicals used in the Industry, the manner of transportation, the total production involving the import of raw materials and, finally, the export of the finished product.
It was an enriching experience, which has helped our students to think, reflect on what they have seen and effectively retain the knowledge they have gained. Their vocabulary was also enriched as they learnt some new terminology.

"Go fly, travel, voyage, dare, and discover."
And the trip to Canada was one such trip, a priceless memory in our travel diary.
3rd October, 2018 marks the date of a beautiful journey as 25 students accompanied by Principal Ma'am, Garima di and Radha di departed towards the first destination, Toronto. A road trip with an endless bus journey and countless hotels to stop at. We went to various cities namely Banff, Vancouver, Alberta, Whistler, and many more.
Our first visit was to the famous Niagara Falls, rainbow spawned over high rising water. Niagara Falls is the collective name for three waterfalls that straddle the international border between the Canadian province of Ontario and the American state of New York. These iconic and monumental waterfalls are a famous tourist spot. The visit to Niagara Falls was followed by a stop at the local market where the girls spent time looking for immemorial souvenirs like maple syrup. Later in the day, we also visited the CN tower. The CN Tower is a 553.3 m-high concrete communications and observation tower located in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It provides an impeccable view of the city.
We travelled through Vancouver in the British Columbia, to Whistler which is a town north of Vancouver. Whistler offers skiing and snowboarding in one of the largest ski resorts and a home to the 2018 Winter Olympics. In Whistler, we enjoyed The Peak 2 Peak Gondola which is a tri-cable gondola lift that links Whistler Mountain's Roundhouse Lodge with Blackcomb Mountain's Rendezvous Lodge. It is the first lift to join the two side-by-side Mountains.
Later we reached Jasper as we travelled through Kamloops. Jasper, an alpine town in Canada's Alberta province, is the commercial centre of Jasper National Park. Amid the snow-capped Canadian Rockies, the park has glacier-fed lakes, forests and rivers. We visited the Jasper National Park where we saw the native wildlife including elk, moose, bighorn sheep and bears.
Jasper led us to Banff. Banff is a resort town in the province of Alberta, located within Banff National Park. The peaks of Mt. Rundle and Mt. Cascade, part of the Rocky Mountains, dominate its skyline. On Banff Avenue, the main thoroughfare, boutiques and restaurants mix with hotels and souvenir shops. We visited the Banff National Park which is Rocky Mountain park offering year-round activities & glacial lakes such as Lake Louise. We had the opportunity to ride on the Banff Gondola which is a scenic cableway ride to viewing decks & hiking trails at the summit of Sulphur Mountain. We saw the famous Lake Louise which is known for its turquoise waters. This glacier-fed lake is a celebrated area for outdoor recreation and we picnicked around, munching on sandwiches as we enjoyed the view.
We travelled back to Vancouver after stopping for a while at Calgary and visited the famous Stanley Park before leaving for the Airport in Vancouver. Stanley Park is a renowned national park in Canada which is famous for its historical significance.

She impresses and outwits the terrifying Yamraj, ultimately rescuing her husband from the realms of death with her arguments and quick thinking..
