"Imagination is the eye of the soul."
An intrinsic and engaging part of life at Jain Vidyaniketan
is the infusion of aesthetic awareness in its students. Formal
tutoring in major art forms like music, painting, and
drama are treated with the same earnestness as other
academic subjects. The hands-on experience is a unique opportunity
for the children to lend wings to their imaginations.
Since students come from rural settings they are blessed with
strong links with Nature. Their innate refinement is expressed
through social drama, clay modeling and painting
with natural pigments. Students are exposed to a variety of
performing arts so their minds and senses are filled with
positive and constructive images. It has been proved that
students with interests in fine arts and literature do much
better in academic studies.
Annual Day Celebrations
The cultural programmes staged by the children during the
Annual Day Celebrations are delightful to watch as they perform
dances in Bharatanatyam, folk and popular styles.
Their histrionic talents come to the fore in various plays.
Equally impressive is the exhibition depicting the various
facets.
Excursions
To widen the horizons, further, each class is taken on excursions
to various places of historical significance and natural beauty.
Students show enormous enthusiasm for these trips and are
encouraged to create presentations of their experiences, making
documentation and discipline a part of their training.
