Bamboo Crafts
In addition to academic education, students at our gurukuls actively participate in traditional craft-making sessions. They learn various indigenous craft techniques such as bamboo weaving, handloom weaving, wood carving, and pottery. These sessions instill appreciation for cultural values, develop artistic abilities, and empower students to become custodians of their cultural heritage. Through hands-on experiences, students gain practical skills, a deeper connection with their roots, and contribute to the preservation of traditional crafts in Arunachal Pradesh.
In addition to physical activities, we emphasize the importance of mental and spiritual well-being. Therefore, our students participate in sessions of meditation and yoga, which cultivate inner peace and mindfulness. We also actively engage them in environment-related community activities, instilling a sense of responsibility towards nature and the surrounding ecosystem.
At our gurukuls, we strongly believe in empowering students to become self-reliant individuals in their future endeavors. To foster this sense of independence and responsibility, we encourage them to take charge of daily chores such as cleaning the surroundings, sweeping, doing dishes and washing clothes. By actively participating in these tasks, students learn the values of discipline, self-sufficiency and respect for their immediate environment.
In conclusion, our gurukuls not only focus on academic excellence and traditional values but also aim to create well-rounded individuals who are deeply connected to their cultural heritage. Through a blend of modern education, traditional teachings, co-curricular activities and practical life skills, we strive to provide an enriching and holistic educational experience to our students. We are committed to preserving the indigenous traditions and customs of Arunachal Pradesh and empowering the younger generation to carry them forward with pride and resilience.
