NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF NEP-2020
Patriotism is often considered a heavy word but we need to view it simply. Patriotism means having a deep affection, devotion, and appreciation for one’s country. This includes its culture, lifestyles, people, languages, cuisines, beautiful places, and everything that makes it unique. It’s important to instill a sense of patriotism in children from a very early age. As children develop this feeling over time, they learn best by observing those around them showing pride, enthusiasm, and respect for the country. To foster these feelings in children, the school and the parents must first be patriotic themselves and serve as role models. By embodying these values, we as educators and parents help nurture a sense of patriotism in them.

Building Strong Foundations: How Meditation and Heartfulness Empower Young Minds
The pre-primary years are an exciting time of exploration for young children. They are always encountering new things, figuring out how to interact with others, and in the process, the groundwork for their emotional growth is laid out. As parents, we aim to give them the skills they need to handle these experiences well. That’s where meditation and heartfulness techniques come in— these are like helpful friends, supporting emotional balance, self-awareness, and a healthy self-concept, setting the stage for their future achievements.

Personalised Learning Paradigm: Integrating Theoretical Foundations and Pedagogical Practices
Everyone is born unique, with different interests, aptitudes, skills and experiences which is why they feel, perceive and learn things differently. With so many diverse traits of an individual, how can the model of teaching, learning and instructions be based on a rigid framework? From Gurukuls to contemporary educational practices, various scholars, psychologists and educators have mentioned the role of nature, environment and innate abilities and how these can be utilised to derive the optimum results in a classroom setting. Rightly said, ‘An elephant cannot be judged by its ability or inability to climb trees or a fish cannot be assessed on its ability or its inability to fly high. We all are born with unique abilities that make us different and special in beautiful ways. So, the model of teaching and learning should also be based on an approach that tries to bring out the best in every individual. If we observe our students, friends, or relatives, we will find how different they are from each other. The difference might be in the manner they perceive, learn, and think, and their ability to perform various tasks. Such individual differences can be noticed in every sphere of life.

Holistic Approach to Early Childhood Education & Foundational Learning
Despite advancing to higher grades, children across public and private schools are not mastering the fundamentals of reading, writing, and mathematics in primary education, as indicated by surveys conducted by the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) and the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT). In many instances, children can read fluently, but they exhibit low levels of comprehension, primarily due to insufficient proficiency in the medium of instruction. This deficiency often results in reliance on rote learning methods.
