VALUE EDUCATION AND LIFE SKILLS

With a view to impart Vedic teaching in the public school system of education, the school endeavours to enable the students to imbibe the sublime elements of our culture, and civilization. Stress is laid on the universal aspect of Indian culture and students are introduced to our rich spiritual heritage which transcends the narrow limits of caste, colour, creed and language. Emphasis is laid on the practical part and all the academic and co-curricular activities which go a long way to build up an atmosphere in which the students imbibe, though unconsciously, the time-honoured value of life which we cherish the most.

The mental health and well-being of our children requires our attention. We understand that the school plays a crucial role in the development of cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional and moral aptitude and competencies in our children. Childhood and adolescence are a time when they realize who they are and what would they like to be? It’s a time to carve their identities, attitudes and values. According to the National Curriculum Framework 2005, the aims of education envisage imparting social values and life skills along with academics. In today's fast-changing, competitive world, it is imperative for us to enable children to make sense of life to pursue a purpose and recognize the rights of others.

We understand the development of self-esteem and ethics, the need to cultivate children's creativity, the desire to live in harmony with oneself and with one's natural and social environment. in accordance to this philosophy, we have counsellors to impart life skill education to the students to realize their strengths and weakness to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life, through various group and individual counselling sessions. The counsellors also provide help for a wide range of emotional and psychological problem like personal discomfort, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem etc through appropriate coping Skills in individual sessions as per the child's needs. Our endeavour at DAV is to promote healthy sand harmonious growth of a child to give able minded and competent citizens to the society, who lives a productive and fulfilling life.
