Ganeshotsav Celebration

Lord Ganesha marks his special significance in Hindu culture and celebrations. The deity with numerous names is worshiped across the nation and when it comes to Ganesh Chaturthi, cities, towns and villages go crazy in celebrations called ‘Ganges Mahotsav’. Sarvanaman Vidya Mandir was not an exception to it  and joyous celebrations extended to five days. On the first day, that is, on the day of Ganges Chaturthi, the idol of Lord Ganesha was  installed in the assembly hall of the school amidst students’ calling out slogans in praise of Lord Ganesha.  Auspicious and divine environment kept evolving  whenever aarti was performed in the evenings.

On September 23, the fifth day after the installation,  the idol of Lord Ganesha was taken out in great procession for immersion.  After performing puja and aarti, the teachers carried the idol to Narmada Ghat of Nilkantheswar Temple, followed by all the students of the school who liberate their vocal cords shouting ‘Ganpati Bapa Moriya’ requesting the lord to come soon the next year. The five days celebration fetched a happy change in school routine and, at the same time, drew the students nearer to indian traditions and customs.

Teachers’ Day Celebration

The height of creativity lay afoot when the SVM students took over responsibility of Teachers’ Day Celebration paying tribute to Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan on his birthday i.e., 5^th September, 2012. What surprised all was the marvelous organisation of the festive programmes by the students on their own. Morning assessmbly had been a special one when students offered beautiful flowers and awards to the teachers and mentors, thus, showing their gratitude and respect. Wonderful song was presented by students of class IX and XI while the skit displaying secrets of classroom had really been awesome. Students also prepared and displayed an exceedingly significant documentary and a touching message for teachers. Principal Mr. Govind Borade appreciated students’ organised performance and congratulated for their team spirit. He suggested that teachers should determine, on the teachers’ day, to keep on enriching the students academically and render their help meeting their expectations in their task of learning.
