People who help us - Fancy Dress Day

 25th Sept 2023

Activity like "people who help us" helps the children to develop their knowledge of the world around them and understand how they are part of a local and wider community. Aspects of this theme can also provide opportunities for children to develop their understanding and the support they render for the society.  This activity has been conducted on 25th September at Gurukulam. 

We live in a community, and there are a lot of people who make our lives easy by helping us in our day-to-day lives. Some of these people also help us in emergencies, like when we are sick or when a fire breaks out. Therefore, children must know which person can help them in which situation.

Industrial visit to Royal Enfield Factory

01st Sept 2023

As reported by  our teacher:

Our Grade XII students got an opportunity to visit the Royal Enfield Factory, located at Sriperumbudur. Industrial visits are usually the first point of interaction between a student and a live working industry. The students learn about the latest technology trend and make up their minds about their future job or area of interest. Our students took this seriously and utilized this industrial visit for learning and enhancing their understanding.

Industrial visits provide students with a chance to meet industry leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and corporates who share their wisdom, learning, and experiences. These interactions are useful to students in their career and help them in developing leadership qualities, management skills, and learn about the industry working. Industry interaction is also helpful in updating the curriculum when there are significant changes in prevalent technologies.

During the industrial visits, the students get an opportunity to experience how professionals live, learn about various management concepts like "Just In Time", "Lean manufacturing" and how they are put into action. It is not easy to manage hundreds of skilled and unskilled workers at the same time and meet the stringent quality norms and production targets of the company. How managers, production engineers, employees work in tandem to achieve a common target is a management lesson in itself.

Students enjoyed the trip and they have been encouraged with some mementos.
