DECEMBER - 2025

Welcome to December - 2025 Edition Of  SSVK  Newsletter

As a part of the Social Science curriculum, an engaging “Market Scene Activity” was conducted for Grade 7A and 7B. The objective was to provide students with a practical understanding of marketing concepts, types of markets, the role of buyers and sellers, and the importance of goods and services in daily life. 

Students participated enthusiastically by setting up stalls, displaying products, interacting with their peers as customers, and applying basic marketing skills such as advertisement, pricing and negotiation. The activity created a lively marketplace atmosphere within the school premises, making the learning process fun and experiential. 

This hands-on activity not only enhanced their knowledge of the chapter but also helped build confidence, communication, teamwork, and decision-making skills among students. 

Overall, the “Market Scene Activity” proved to be a highly enjoyable and educational experience for all! 

We were blessed with the gracious presence of Swami Jyotirupanandaji, a senior monk of the Ramakrishna Order and the former Head of the Vedanta Centre, Moscow, Russia. At the remarkable age of 94, Swamiji visited our centre and inspired everyone with his spiritual wisdom and simplicity. 

We express our heartfelt gratitude to Swamiji for his visit and pray for his good health and long life. 

The Art Room of Sri Sarada Devi Vidya Kendra, Ramakrishna Mission, Shivanahalli, was inaugurated with great enthusiasm and devotion on Saturday, December 6th at 9:30 AM in the Primary Block.

As a mark of respect and devotion, all the students offered flowers at the photo of Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi (Sarada Maa) and sought her divine blessings. The celebration concluded on a peaceful and spiritually uplifting note, leaving a lasting impression on everyone present. 

The Jayanti celebration served as a meaningful occasion for students to imbibe values of purity, compassion, and service as exemplified by Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi.

Team Maadoo has successfully established an Agri Lab in our school with the aim of providing practical agricultural knowledge to students. This initiative mainly involved the students of Grade 7 A and 7 B, who actively participated in planting a variety of plants and learning basic cultivation practices.

At the beginning of the programme, the Maadoo team introduced various agricultural tools to the students and explained their uses in farming. This session helped students understand traditional as well as basic modern farming techniques.

Later, a portion of land was allotted to the students for cultivation. The students were divided into groups, and each group was given responsibility for preparing the land, planting saplings, and taking care of the crops. A local village farmer supported and guided the students throughout the cultivation process by sharing his practical experience and methods.

The students enthusiastically planted a variety of plants, learning about soil preparation, sowing, watering, and plant care. This hands-on experience helped them connect classroom learning with real-life agricultural practices.

An Agri Lab Exhibition was organized on 27th December 2025, where students displayed their work and explained the process of cultivation to visitors. The exhibition highlighted the importance of agriculture, teamwork, and sustainable living.
