रंग-बिरंगे मन के विविध रंग

आत्मीय विद्यामंदिर पाठशाला में दिनांक 31 मार्च 2012
से 01 अप्रेल 2012 तक कलाविद् (आर्ट शिक्षक)
श्री.मनीषभाई प्रजापति के मार्गदर्शन में आर्ट मेले का आयोजन  किया गया था। यह रंगो की होली दो दिन तक चली,
जिसमें कक्षा 1 से 6 के बच्चों ने अपनी-अपनी कलाओं को ‘क्ले’, रंग, पृष्ठ (कागज़) आदि के माध्यम से प्रदर्शित किया।

सुबह 10:00 बजे से दुपहर 01:00 बजे तक एवं दुपहर भोजन के पश्चात 01 बजे से
03:00 तक इस आर्ट मेले का आयोजन किया गया ।

इस आर्ट मेले को मार्गदर्शन देने के लिए पीडीलाईट (PIDILITE) संस्था के कलाविद् श्री
रंजीत ताड़वी  एवं  उनके सहायक सदस्यों को निमंत्रित किया गया।
इस आर्ट मेले में विविध प्रकार की प्रवृतियों का आयोजन किया गया।
उसमें  सभी छात्रों को दो जूथ में विभाजित
किया गया।
प्रथम जूथ कक्षा 1 से 3 का
द्वितीय जूथ कक्षा 4 से 6 का
जिसमें प्रथम जूथ के लिए — My  Theme, Sticker
Painting
, Sand Paper Painting,
Stick Figures
आदि
प्रवृत्तियों का निर्माण छात्रालय के प्रार्थना मंदिर में किया गया एवं द्वितीय जूथ के लिए— Paper Quelling Card,
Sand Art
,Creative Lettering,
Shilpkar Mask
आदि प्रवृत्तियों का निर्माण पाठशाला के प्राटंगण में
किया गया।
इन दो दिन विविध
कला एवं रंगो से खिला हुआ आत्मीय विद्यामंदिर ऐसा दिख रहा था मानो एक सजीला  इन्द्रधनुष
हो। जहाँ भी दृष्टि घुमाएँ वहाँ एक विचार आकार ले रहा था। हर तरफ़ बच्चे अपनी-आपनी
प्रतिभा को दृश्याकर करने में डूबे हुए थे। जगह-जगह दृश्यमान बच्चें ऐसे लग रहे
थें जैसे फूलवारी स्वयं आत्मीय विद्यामंदिर में आ
गई हो।
कोई क्ले से
तो कोई कागज़ से, कोई गोंद से तो कोई पींछी से, कोई शब्दों को सुंदर रूप में मरोड़
रहा था तो कोई आदी मानव की मुखाकृति को वाचा दे रहा था। दृश्य तो बस देखते ही बनता
था।
आचार्य श्री,
शिक्षक श्री एवं दीदी भी इनसे अछूते नहीं रह पाए, वे भी बच्चों के साथ मिलकर बच्चे
बनकर  सभी का उत्साह बढ़ा रहे थें। चारों
तरफ़ का वातावरण कला एवं आर्ट मेले के रंग में रंग गया था। हवा भी आर्ट मेले की
खुश्बू लिए आत्मीय विद्यामंदिर के प्राटंगण से भी दूर तक जाने को मचल रही थी।
बच्चें इतने खुश थें कि वे चाहते थें कि ये प्रवृतियाँ कभी खत्म न हो! किन्तु पुन:
आगमन के लिए कुछ समय तक इस  प्रवृतियो
बाय-बाय कहने का समय आ गया था, इसलिए पूर्ण-विराम तो नहीं, किन्तु अर्ध विराम
लगाना आवश्यक था, अत: 1 अप्रेल 2012 को दुपहर 03:00 बजे इसकी पूर्णाहुति की गई।
रंग एवं कला की है ये दुनियाँ।
कभी आकृति
तो कभी विकृति है ये दुनियाँ।
कभी हरी, कभी लाल तो कभी पीली है ये दुनियाँ।
रंग से भरी रंगीन है ये दुनियाँ,
क्योंकि रंगीले मन की है ये दुनियाँ।

धन्यवाद!

Senior Indian Revenue Service Officers inspire AVM students

On 28th March 2012, a Senior Income Tax Officer Mr. Deepak Vyas with the Joint Commissioner of Income Tax – Surat Mr. Yogesh Surti visited Atmiya Vidya Mandir to guide the students of 11th commerce on the matters of income tax. They introduced themselves and informed the students about the nature of their work.

They gave the students an insight about how income tax is collected and where the collected tax is used. They also explained the students about the various aspects of income tax and highlighted the importance of income tax. The students got aware of the different ways of paying tax and the tax slab system.

The esteemed guests also spent some time answering the queries of the students in a very informative way and guided the students about the various career prospects in this field. It was a unique learning experience for the students to interact with such experienced officials on a personal level, an opportunity that the students feel really grateful about.

Their message to the students was that not paying tax was a crime, so they appealed to them to become responsible citizens i.e. ‘Jagrat Nagrik’ and to spread awareness in the society of the importance of paying tax.

The students now look forward to preparing themselves to become such individuals so as to do their bit in solving the grave problem of tax evasion in the society.

Reviewing Greatness!

In an attempt to get some real life insight into the vast field of Business, Finance and Commerce in general, the 11th Commerce class, inspired and guided by Purvesh Sir, have started a series of book review presentations. Four groups have been formed, each working on different books:
The first review presentation in this series was held on the 26th of March in the auditorium to the teachers and students of Atmiya Vidya Mandir. The presentations of the other 3 groups will soon follow.

The book “Good to Great” by Jim Collins is written to guide and enlighten the already good companies to the path of greatness. To give a review presentation on this book a group was formed in which each one was assigned a task i.e. Karan Jivani (Presenter), Vikkim Patel (Computer Dept.), Parth Patel (Artist and Designing) and Meet Pansuria (Research).

The book is about companies who followed certain principles and became great. These concepts in a nutshell were explained by a working model. It was designed in such a manner that it could summarise the entire book.

Every page of the book has information that seems inevitable to achieve greatness! A few of all the important concepts in the book were the Hedgehog Concept, Level 5 Leadership and The Flywheel Effect.

The hedgehog concept is the intersection of what we can be the best in the world at? (And equally important—what can we not be the best at?) What is the economic denominator that best drives our economic engine and what are our core people deeply passionate about?

Level 5 leadership is about leaders who are humble, but driven to do what’s best for the company. While the flywheel effect is the additive effects of the small initiatives.

This book is answers to a curious question ‘how to reach greatness?’ These principles can also be beneficial in an individual’s personal life. Like the hedgehog concept is useful in making a career choice. The level 5 leadership teaches us values of humility and strong will.


The presentation was followed by some intriguing questions posed by the audience – students and teachers. The team put their best effort in responding to them and ended up gaining even more insight about the book.

This was a great learning experience and it also promoted the habit of reading good non fiction books.
