In an existing league of several valuable associations, Gram Vikas Residential School, Kankia, has entered into another important collaboration with ‘Aparna Bhasin Consulting’ in order to discover specialities in our students in terms of their artistic and imaginative potential, and to elicit out of them, their hitherto latent artistic and imaginative capabilities.
“Formed in early 2015, Aparna Bhasin Consulting specializes in education, healthy child and adolescent development, and related social areas”, declares its official website.
Under the part of this collaboration, a two-member team from ‘Aparna Bhasin Consulting’ took a tour of our School last week dated 18th of October and installed canvases at all the desks in each of our Classrooms. The same can be seen in the attached photographs to this post.
The idea is that the students can put their raw artistic and other imaginative ideas at the canvases. These canvases, after the end of the session, are to be detached from the desks, to be sent for psychological assessment in order to decipher students’ bent of minds in terms of their academic and artistic inclinations.
This assessment, from the subsequent academic sessions, can help us in designing and formulating the classroom studies from a more child-centric perspective.
The idea further aims at showcasing some of the worthy artistic pieces or drawings made at these canvases, in some of the prestigious foreign art exhibitions, by ‘Aparna Bhasin Consulting’.
For us, this is something a new experience but an exciting experiment too.
A former fellow of the SBI Youth for India, Mr. Shubham Singh, who worked with our School, played a pivotal role in helping our School to enter into this collaboration with ‘Aparna Bhasin Consulting’. Mr. Debendra Dash, the principal of our School, too played an important role in taking care of all the essentialities at School level, after the visit of the two-member team of 'Aparna Bhasin Consulting' to our School.
