80th Independence Day celebration:
Every year, Apna Skool commemorates Independence Day with heartfelt enthusiasm and patriotic spirit—and this year was no exception. Marking the 80th anniversary of India’s freedom, our teaching centres across Kanpur and Bihar came alive with vibrant celebrations. Students and teachers organized spirited processions around the centres and nearby brick kilns, followed by the ceremonial hoisting of the national flag. The day was filled with cultural performances where children showcased their talents
through singing, dancing, storytelling, and more.
In addition to the festivities, students were educated about India’s freedom struggle, the rights of labourers, and the inspiring lives of great freedom fighters. To sweeten the occasion, traditional treats
like jalebis and fruit-based sweets were distributed to all the children, adding joy to a day of pride and remembrance.

Observing celestial bodies through a telescope at Apna Skool Dedupur centre (Rama ,Vishnu and Kalra-3 brick kilns children and Parents) by Khagolvani IIT Kanpur on 23/04/2026
Ms. Tejpreet Kaur(Post Doctorate) from IIT Kanpur, along with two PhD students—Satyendra and Shahbaz—organized a highly engaging astronomical session for children and parents. With the aid of a telescope, everyone enjoyed the magnificent views of the Moon, the Orion constellation, Jupiter, and Venus. In particular, observing Jupiter and its four moons proved to be a memorable experience for the children.
Using the telescope, they demonstrated the pits or depressions on the lunar surface—known as craters—and also pointed out those craters that have since been filled in by volcanic activity. During this session, the children were taught how to identify the Pole Star.
The entire evening 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm was filled with new insights and excitement for both the children and their parents. The older children were encouraged to write about this experience, and they will subsequently share their individual accounts. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this activity.

Women's Day Celebration 2026
International Women's Day is celebrated every year on March 8 to honour the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women around the world. It is also a day to raise awareness about gender equality and women's rights, as well as a call for action to
accelerate the progress.
On this occasion meetings were held with migrant labourer women at all the brick fields where Apna Skool centres are functioning. Our teachers and coordinators addressed the gatherings and brought awareness on various issues related to the women, highlighting about women's rights and how to get those rights at the domestic level. They discussed the importance of general health and hygiene, family planning, consumption of healthy food and proper diet. Regarding education, they were asked to motivate their children to study well and
continue the studies when they return to their villages, encourage their girl children in
particular, to get enrolled in Kasturba Gandhi Residential Schools. They also motivated the
women to start saving money which is a good practice and will become helpful at needy times.

Educational trip to Kanpur Zoo (3 February, 2026)
Dear all,
Namaste!
Apna Skool organizes an annual educational trip to the zoo for our students to deepen their appreciation for wildlife and nature. This eagerly awaited day is always filled with excitement,offering a wonderful adventure to learn about fascinating wildlife and enjoy a full day of exploration. After a light refreshment, the students boarded buses and set off to the zoo premises—one of the oldest in the country.
Although the enclosures at Kanpur Zoo are designed to replicate the natural habitats of various animals, some of our students felt a bit intimidated when they saw wild creatures like tigers up close in a real miniature forest setting. Lions were lounging in shaded areas, while leopards had climbed trees, resting high above. The students observed crocodiles, really large amphibians. A beautiful aquarium showcased a variety of colourful fishes. It was fascinating to see birds from different parts of the world. The replica of extinct dinosaurs captured the students' attention with their lifelike appearance. A special enclosure dedicated to nocturnal animals, including bats, owls, and jackals, gave the children a thrilling glimpse into the eerie world of creatures active at night.After a delicious lunch and fruits, all the children had a blast playing their hearts out in the children’s park.
Overall, it was a delightful and educational experience, offering the students a rare opportunity to witness wildlife they don’t encounter in their daily lives.

Thanks
Apna Skool Team
