Anand Niketan Shilaj

Co-Curricular

At Anand Niketan we believe that learning happens through not just academics but through various co-curricular activities. Such activities fuel the child’s learning by stimulating creative thought, improving their social and organizational skills, developing their interests and talents, and offering them the chance to shift between academics and do something they really enjoy.

They enhance physical and mental abilities of students and help them achieve the goals of their life. It also help develop values of mutual trust and cooperation. Students are guided and trained by expert coach in various sports activities like football, basketball, badminton, table tennis, lawn tennis, karate, skating, kid-fit, martial art, yoga, gymnastic, kabbadi, football and athletics.

Houses

The Houses system in school is a platform to promote interaction between mixed-age peers, to create a school spirit, collaboration and team work, and to provide a space for fruitful enjoyment. When a student enters Grade 1 he/she is allotted one of four houses based on four elements:

Agni: Denote a burning passion to excel and the warmth of compassion

Jal: Denotes a clarity of intent and a willingness to adapt

Prithvi: Denotes a grounded character and an unshakable will

Vaayu: Denotes freedom and openness in thought and spirit

Houses are not changed throughout the child’s schooling. This ensures a sense of belonging and provides the child a group to consistently participate from and root for during regular inter-house events held throughout the year.

School Parliament

The ANSH Parliament was established in the Academic Year 2012 to provide a platform for our students to develop leadership abilities and also to promote a sense of ownership and service among the student body. The Parliamentarians are elected through a universal ballot system wherein each member of the ANSH Parivar gets one vote. Students who get the majority of the votes are elected for the posts of Ministers and Presidents.

I.M.U.N.

I.M.U.N.is an initiative to give the students an insight into the working of the U.N.Here students impersonate leaders of various countries and present the Problems faced by their countries. They also come up with solutions to these problems. Thus their cognizance of the world’s problems and their skill and intelligence to solve these problems is tapped. At Ansh we believe in the philosophy, Vasudeva Kutbakam, the philosophy of our late president, Dr. Radhakrishnan.

Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam is a Sanskrit phrase found in the Maha Upanishad, which means “The World Is One Family”. Vedic tradition mentions “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” means “ all living beings on the earth are a family.

This feeling is developed in them through this initiative.

Celebration

Celebrating festivals, events, occasion is a great way to understand one’s culture. At Anand Niketan children are taught to respect each and every culture. We teach them about their roots in this world and nurture the sense of belonging, sharing and accepting the fact that Existence is co-existence
