Literacy is neither the end of education nor even the beginning. It is only one means by which one can be educate. By education, Mahatma Gandhi ji's means an all-round drawing out of the best in the child and man-body, mind and spirit.His greatest gift in the sphere of our education is known as The Wardha Scheme of Education or Nai Talim which conceived as a craft-based education in which practical skill serves as the center and foundation of an individual's spiritual, cultural, and social development and in which skills learned in context with and in service to their craft.
Today we all celebrated the NaiTalim Week on the occasion of 152th Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Our college organized the workshop on NaiTalimfor the activities related toSEED PLANTATION, SWACHH BHARAT ABHIYAN, and FIRST AID BOX & EMERGENCY AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT.
Our workshop started by our coordinator Dr. ShikhaRanjan who invited the Ms. Savita Sharma Mam to initiate the workshop. Firstly, Savita Mam amput light upon the Mahatma Gandhi who promoted the NaiTalim. According to Gandhiji, Basic Education is a principle which states that knowledge and work are not separate.His idea was to impart the whole education of the body, mind and soul through the handicraft that taught to the children. Then Mam told us the importance of NaiTalim.
Further she introduced the activities one by one by presenting the screen that we must do and write a report on it. She instructed the points how to do the activity of seed Plantation in which we have to collect the seed, grow a plant and monitoring it. She also encourages us to reuse the plastic bottle for the plantation. She gave the importance of cleanliness and encourage us to clean the home &neighbourhood andaware the people about it according to swachhbharatabhiyan. Then she showed a video and instructed us how to make the First Aid Box and told us about the uses of it in the emergency. Then she gave us the importance of skill development in teaching related to art & craft.
She discussed all these activities and ended the workshop by addressing the queries of us. We enjoyed the informative workshop and be thankful to our Savita ma'am.
